Watched Deadwood again Sunday night. I figured they would have shit for a story once Wild Bill was shot in the back (a small bit of truth in this fine fiction), but it is getting better and better. Very cool show.

11 Rules for Life
Ran across this and thought I would post it here.
Rule 1: Life is not fair … get used to it.
Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. However, the world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you start feeling good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school, and you won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers at McDonalds should not be beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping . . . they called it OPPORTUNITY.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents’ generation, try delousing the closet in your own bedroom.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with recognizing that there are winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have even abolished failing grades, and they’ll give you as much time as you want to get the right answer on an exam. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off, and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. You are supposed to do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop, and go out and find a job.
Rule 11: Be nice to NERDS. Chances are you will end up working for one.
DSL Upgrade
Just upgraded to 3000/384 DSL. Very fast. Considering how many people use my network for gaming, this should improve things drastically. The cool thing is that even though it is supposed to cost an extra $5 per month, it also includes a static IP address, which I have been paying an extra $15 for, so my bill should actually drop next month. Very cool

Music Stuff
Still working on converting my cassettes to MP3 & WMA. I think I am over halfway through with my cassettes, completely finished with my CDs. May be able to start with my LP collection soon. I may need to break out the Bestbuy card for that, my turntable is ok (it’s the old Soundesign with the built-in 8-track and cassette player that I am using for my cassettes) but not really that good. I can pick up a good new one for less than a hundred bucks. Would be nice if I can find one with a digital output I can hook into my soundblaster.
Damn, just did some checking. Analog Turntables are around $99-149, but if I want one with digital output it’s gonna run me $299. Maybe I can hook up with a little bit of PC sidework yo pay for it. Haven’t done any side jobs lately.

Man Who Killed Armed Intruder Jailed Eight Years
When did the scottish turn into pussies? Apparently four men performed a home invasion, armed with guns. The VICTIM grabbed a sword, stabbed one of them, who later died. The remaining three were later charged with robbery and firearm offences, but the victim was sentenced with manslaughter and jailed for eight years. Just remember, next time you are robbed in Scotland, don’t bother to defend yourself, run away screaming like a little girl or the justice system will have your ass.
