Sorry about the ads people, I need to get money some how, and I think the only way I can (internet money that is), is if I get some ads going somewhere.

Today isn't my day computer wise. Started off alright, I was intending on washing the windows for mum, listening to my music being blared out through my speakers (as music sometimes does). I go downstairs to just check the internet for any irregularities (this was at around 9:30), and I find the computer doesn't boot. Wonderful. I thought it was something Mum had done to deter me from the computer (you know, take the mouse away, stuff like that). Ok so I though, I'll check all the cords. No, nothing wrong there. I was starting to get a little worried, because the computer doesn't boot up. Normally, when the computer is broken or has something wrong with it, it always comes back to me. As, it's always my fault that it doesn't work because I'm normally the last one on it the night before. Typical parent thing, blame whoever was last one there.

Two things run through my head when a computer doesn't boot.
1) What have I done?
2) Can I fix it before my family members know what has happened.
Those are really my initial thoughts. The ones after are normally: "Oh fuck, everything is lost!", "Fuck, that scratch won't come out". All the normal thoughts one would go through. Anyway, cleared some space on the desk and I opened it up, tried to turn it on and found the CPU fan spins only a tiny bits. I didn't want it to be hardware, so I tried every means possible to get it to boot. Ones like changing power cords, fiddling with the connectors inside of the box. All to no avail. I had on my hands, a dead power supply.

Thinking this was the only bad thing at the time, I called dad up to tell him that he needs to get a new power supply from somewhere. Blah blah blah, anyway, I brought down my machine and I used the power supply from that to test the computer (to make sure it still booted), booted alright. Wanting to play the computer, I moved the power supply to the other computer and I went to boot it up. *Sniff*, Wait, is that something burning? Oh christ, SOMETHING'S BURNING. *Turns off the machine*. This is not good my friends, not good at all. Anything that smells like burning cat hairs isn't good, computers or not. This just isn't my day.

I got over the initial burning smell and waited for it to boot. *Beep*, ok, that beep was needed. *10 seconds later*, Wait, where's the other beep?!. The hard drive doesn't get detected! Hurrah for the crappy power supply! Seems as though the power supply has short circuited and zoomed down the lines and burnt out the hard drive. I tried for half an hour trying to get the thing to boot.

Turns out whatever has happened to the power supply, it reverberated through to the hard drive, causing me to lose everything of mine, and I mean, everything. This time it wasn't the porn (well, I can redownload the movie...), but this time I was more worried about loosing logs, passwords (ones that I never remember), and other random stuff needed for my daily internet need. What is worse, I've lost all my illegal downloads (hehe), all the movies I had (all of 9 movies ^_^), but those movies took a long time to download. (Did I say download? I mean I made a copy of them incase I ever did lose these movies that I "bought").

Oh! To add to the pain of everything dying in one spot, I broke one of my IDE cables. I pulled thr plug right off the ribbon (with my massive amounts of muscle! You must be careful with muscles like these *tenses up*). I'll take some pictures of it tomorrow. But for now, I'm going to have to make do without any music before bed :-(

Saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on Monday, very very good movie. Though, I hate watching a good movie when people all of a sudden decide to get out a packet of chips. Them eating the chips don't really bother me, it's when they decided to open it up, WHEN EVERONE IS QUIET AND THERE IS A QUIET SCENE ON. I mean, I do it all the time, but I do it to crappy movies. Much like Elf, I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching that at the movies. By god that was the worse thing I've seen. See, movies like those you need some al-foil, or lots of chips to surpass the movie and try to boycott it for anyone else trying to "watch" it.

Oh, before the movie was actually shown, you know how they always have ads for stuff like the shop out where you can buy lollies, and general insurance ads. Well, I don't know whether or not this is new, but they had a piracy ad on. Not really interesting, but I thought it was funny. Just the way that they portray people downloading movies off the internet, as one girl was sitting at her computer on the "internet" with an IE window up and a giant button saying "DOWNLOAD". Obviously meaning that there was a movie up for download. You know... What ever.

Just wondering, why do those happy children singing groups (Hi5, The Wiggles) always sing about happy families? Why can't they sing about something more realistic like some 5 year old crackwhore selling herself on the black asian market (haha, black asian.), or even about their fathers that were constantly drunk 5/4 times a week and beat them up because they didn't put any sugar on their daddy? (Ew.) I think they'd make much more money than they do now.

Had my night drive lesson last night. Hurrah for it being dark! The only thing left for me to do is the PR2 and the final check drive (dunno if it's the same as the VORT test). If I pass them all, I will have my P's! Yay me.

Ugh, I got my report today. I didn't even know that it was in the letterbox, obviously it was. I did pretty well in math (well, as good as someone who didn't do anything all year I suppose), I got an 11 for that. I think I should do some work in math. My other classes I got 14-16, pretty good if you ask me. I haven't gotten anything for physics yet, hopefully it's not too bad. Oh well, what can you do.

Yes. Google is the internet. When you think about it, without Google, half of the internet would be dead. Let me explain myself a little bit. I was thinking about it the other day, if Google didn't exist, this site wouldn't exist. Well, technically it wouldn't exist. Blogger is the backend of my blog, and of course Blogger is a part of, hosted and owned by Google. Not only does it have a brilliant back end of most blogs, it hosts probably hundreds (I haven't checked) of blogs. My site generates around 100MB or traffic a month (and this is only a recent figure as hints on my blog has picked up), I'm sure there are other blogs out there with three times as much traffic, if not more. All while this bandwidth is being used up, Blogger has not ceased. (Unless you happen to have had a blog on weblogs. Different host, different story :-P). This may seem like a ploy to get more hits or something similar, but it's all true.

Without Google, I'm sure I wouldn't have bothered starting a site, nor would I have even thought about posting some really personal information. I wouldn't have attempted to find out how to get my site the first on a search of jarryd. It's fun to try and get some internet coverage. I suppose it's like if you are an actor or similar and you want the world to recognise you. I want the internet to know that I am jarryd. I AM JARRYD, HEAR ME ROAR.

Continuing: Along with Blogger, Google is trying to compete with Hotmail and Yahoo! with their own webmail, GMail. Go Google! I have access to this beta webmail (along with 3/4 of the internet), and christ, it rules. I get invites (which has increased to 5 invites) every few days, and I'm running out of people to give invites to. So if you are one of the lucky people without an account at GMail, and would like one plug an email to exxnet@gmail.com asking for an invite. Though I'm not one to give an invite away willy nilly (heh, sounds like another sexual innuendo that childish people would laugh at), so include a reason for why I should send you invite.

Now I know that Google isn't directly the internet (I'm speaking metaphorically here people), but it sure as hell would probably be able to take over and become the internet. The world would be able to chug along with Google running the internet just as easy, if not better. That is probably going a little too far, but whatever (it is my site...) I may sound a little attached to Google, but when you think about it, you would be lost without Google. I use it all the time, doing assignments, or even searching for anything.

I think this should be the first and last time I shamlessly plug an internet company, but who knows, I may want to give my acknowledgements to Microsoft (:-P) next time. Do you think I've rambled on a little bit? Eh, I have nothing to talk about. It is the holidays, and I have nothing to do so I will probably ramble on about internet porn scams next. Though I am due for a long blog, I haven't done one for a while. Hopefully some kind of street-fight-car-crash-killings will go on.

Oh My Google.

Today, I passed my PR1 (progress report) in my driving lessons, and now I'm only a few more lessons away from doing my VORT (don't ask me what it stands for, but it's the final drive) and then I'll be getting my P's! Well, not anytime soon I think, as there is supposedly a 6 week wait on instructors at the MRV. Oh well, doesn't bother me, I'm in no rush to get a license, as I don't have a car yet so indeed it will be pointless. Indeed. Ha! Anyway.

Insane computer. Pheew, that's probably a big ask for people on dialup, but good god it's worth it. That computer is rather shiny :-D

So anyway, went to maccas today to get some dinner, and by god the girl that gave us the food was the most happiest person I've ever seen. She was being happy and stuff whilst seeing if all the food was in the bags. GOD! Why the hell would anyone be so happy working in a fast food joint? Specially Mcdonalds. People like that should be taken out the back and stabbed a few times, then I'm sure they will be.

Oh, and someone "forgot" to tell me that I hadn't included a post a comment link on the comments. That would explain a lot of reasons as to why it would seem I don't have any comments as of late :-(. All fixed now though. Please, if you see something that is not right, or it is wrong (:-P) email me and tell me damnit.

Next on my list is to make a front page for my site (well, a better one that is already up there) as the current one is rather bland. So I'll be adding life and stuff to it later on.
Well, tomorrow is a new day (and hopefully a hit from a certain person ♥)

Previously on "My World":

• I told the internet that I liked a girl
• You know her name now.

This probably won't blow over until I explain a few things. I've liked her for a while, blah blah blah, but I've never had the chance to tell her. Well, I've had many times to say this, probably the most opportune moments. Times when I'm by myself with her talking about things, but I've never had the guts to tell her. I really, really, regret not doing this. I don't think it would have mattered (as much) that she didn't care, or didn't want anything to do with me. I had the horrible feeling that me exposing (such a lovely word) myself to her would cause our friendship to be fucked in the ass and twisted sideways. Well, not only this, but she is hot, and half the guys at my school did their very best to hit on her as much as possible. Just... I don't know. I have no real reason as to why I didn't do it.

I think what made matters worse was that she left dripstone to go to casuarina, which a) left me with no contact with her as I don't like using a phone and without being able to talk on the phone (she doesn't answer when I do call it), I don't get to see her. And b) made me realise that I'm going to be stuck with this "horrible" secret until I find a way to tell her, and frankly, I don't think I'll find a way to. This has probably triggered this post, and why I'm doing it on the internet (anonymously :-D).

I hadn't seen her for around 4 months, and you know, I've been trying to get over her. Well at least my best to anyway. Then I saw her for the first time the other day. She was driving one way, I the other (hehe, me driving!). I realised then, I really do miss her. Like, really really. At points in my life I hate her, at other times, I miss her. I really have a dislike for emotions at the moment. So I believe I'm going to give up on the other gender and not worry about having a relationship. That's right, I'm going to be a bachelor for the rest of my life.

I think one of the main reasons as to why I did this was that if she does happen to come on MSN, I'd normally be there and she may even see this link. So who knows. (The fan will hit the shit once that happens :-P)

Confessions of an internet junkie
I liked/like/had feelings for/are attracted to/was attracted to a girl. Her name: Katerina.

I will keep you updated on the current situation, tomorrow, when I realise that I've posted this blog and I'll need to explain things!

Hurrah, no more school! Well, for the next 4 weeks at least. To start off the holidays, Zack got a GMail invite and he had fun fiddling around with it, the next day, he got 3 invites and I was one of the lucky people to get an invite from him! YAY. So I've been working out how to use it the past couple of days, and I got 3 invites! I've already invited Jack (no, not Fat Jack), and someone else. I've got one left, and if Rob doesn't want to have a gmail account, I'm sure I'll find someone else that will.

If you haven't noticed, I've gotten a new layout and I want your views on it. (Really, it was a spam for my forums to be used as they were just sitting there).

I've forgotten what I was going to have a whine about, but I'll update it later on tonight, or tomorrow (if I remember).

Today was another fun filled day of exams, to start off with I had biology, and damn it was piss easy. At least, I think so. I must commend our teacher for trying to teach a class of stupid students (minus me and a few other people) biology. It was really evident in the test today, as half of our class were the first to leave after half an hour. I had to contain my laughter as they all walked out, I'm sure others probably did the same. Oh well, sucks to be our biology teacher, as he did such a crappy job in trying to teach our class, he isn't teaching year 11 biology anymore. Hurrah! Well, there is a downside to this, because now Mrs Vatskalialolsaslaslssssoaos (I don't know how to spell it, do I?) is going to be teaching the other class, and I'm sure she hates me. Don't ask me why (it could be because I was putting up signs when we were riding in the bus on an excursion saying "Are you driving?". Silly her). Next I was force to do a physics exam, I didn't know that we even had our exam today. Maybe because someone (the teacher) FORGOT TO TELL ME. Doesn't matter me anyway, I'm going to finish in the top three of my class anyway (I know I've already used that joke, but who cares?).

I wanted to see the solar eclipse today, happened around 2:30PM (my time). I tried looking up at the sun when I was going home, but my eyes hurt. Thinking because I couldn't see it, I'd look at the "live webcast". BUT NO, SOMEONE HAD DECIDED TO BREAK THE LIVE WEBCAST AND MAKE IT IS SO I COULDN'T SEE IT. How. Dare. They. I don't think that was nice of them. These images will do.

Ha! Came across this image today on IRC. I thought it was funny...BANG!

Continuing! I was watching ACA with my mum and they had some Paris Hilton thing on there (was not the reason why I watch ACA :-P) about her coming to Australia and crap. Everytime they had Paris pose in a position where her remarkably short skirt would ride up her legs and make her look semi-naked (by a mistake I'm sure), I felt as if my mum was going to ask me about her porn video?! I had this crazed idea that she was going to ask me about it. And what made matters worse, was when they had an image of a google search of "paris hilton sex tape". It was the worse feeling I've had for a while.

Oh, I'm getting sick of shows about black kids in surburbian America, and every second word they say is: yo', or they are singing. There seems to be an endless abundance of these shows on Nickelodeon. They should just get rid of them for good.

Hurrah! I should be happy that there is no more school. Well, frankly, I'm not. I have exams for the remainder of this week, and during studying, I also have to do 3 other assignments that are due in... 4pm today. But I'm sure I'll get them done, somehow. What else... nothing else really interesting has happened, well interesting enough to post about it anyway. Well, I did some parallel parking on saturday, and I only hit the cone once! (When I first did it). I don't know why I wanted a driving lesson on saturday morning. I had to get up early to get ready. I'm not used to getting up early. I got over it quick though.

I'm also getting sick of the fact that I cannot just readily turn the computer on and browse the internet. Having parents that don't let you do that suxbad. I so need to network up my house, oh wait, my dad is being an absolute faggot about it again. I don't know why he is being a retard about it, so what that I've downloaded a few GB of porn the last few months. It's not like I've been downloading animal sodomy and being a pedophile and downloading child pornography. Jesus, chill out captain "I've-never-looked-at-or-thought-about-porn-and-naked-women". I think he needs to re-learn about the birds, the bees and the two humping antelope in the background.

So until next time, you must view blogs A, B, C, and D, in any order possible!

Well, today I had my interview for K-Mart. First off I'd like to say that what happened to me does not normally happen, it only happened because of my mum (really, it's her fault). To start off with, I had to print off my resume before I left at 4. I didn't. So half way along driving there (we got to the round-a-bout near Holy Spirit school) I realised that I had forgotten it. By this time it was already 3:55pm, and I was meant to be at the place where they don't specifically say to go (all they say is "Coles Myer". I'm afraid DARWIN DOESN'T HAVE A COLES MYER). Anyway continued along hoping that dad would find it on the computer somewhere and not stumble onto things he isn't meant to see (:-P). Got to K-Mart's front desk and I said that I was there for an interview, blah blah blah, and I got the queeriest look from the woman at the desk. She had one of those, "I-don't-think-you-have-the-right-place" look. She asked some other woman that walked by about what it was I was really there. Bascially she told me that I was in the wrong place and that I had official made a fool of myself. Typical.

Went down to Coles and was directed up to where 9 other people were already being talked to. I kinda had walked in to a interview already going. SHIT HAPPENS! We kinda just sat there for around 10 minutes while the chick was going through overheads, I kinda just got bored and started to sing to who knows what. Then, she pulls some aptitude test on me. Who does she think she is? I nearly pissed myself laughing when the first question asked "Calculate the total amount of money that was collected for an hour". I did have to contain myself as I wouldn't normally do that, but you know. Went through the test alright, 'cept for one of them. It was the most confusing one I've ever seen.

To end a completely long boring story about my interview: The guy that I was sitting next to seemed about as sadistic as I am, and that the rest of the applicants are the most stupidiest people I've ever seen before.

I have an assignment due in tomorrow, and by god I don't want to do it. It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just... I don't want to do it. At first, I was going to do it, but things have kinda just spun out of control as I have around 3 assignments due in before Friday, an oral that I have to record and give to my english teacher. Not to mention I have to finish off a physics test that I did today (god, our physics teacher is stupid). On a more happier note, I'm going to finish 2nd out of my physics class (not counting the fact that there are only 3 people in the class). I would have finished first, but the stupid dude that marks the work marks it completely different in the way that I've been taught for the past 6 years. Very, VERY stupid. I feel like stabbing him.

I have a cold, and I don't feel the best I've felt, of course, this cold will go away the moment I've finished my exams. So I'll be sitting in the exam room, sneezing and trying to not let snot dribble down my face whilst trying to do exams. Whoo! I might end this kinda short now, as I know I'm not going to get as much sleep as I normally do. Only because I'll do my chemistry and then sift through a whole bunch of code that I have assigned myself to do so I can work out the commands for it. Fun times ahead.
