I'm a little Ranbo, too

Just came back from visiting the parents.  Stopped by Wallgreens: bought Niacin for good cholesterol and generic meds to get rid of excess gas.  Guess I am getting old...   The weather is very nice today, very low humidity.  Haven't had such weather for a long time.  V - Peace Do
I am content with absence of thoughts and feelings.  Enjoying numbness...  However, it would be nice to have some games to play on computer.  So far, nothing.  I am supposed to get Tropico 3 on Monday.  I'll check the Steam for demos...

End of Infinite Sadness

It was a busy day at work.  I went to cafeteria to find the choices of food was less than great.  I ordered a veggieburger with fries and eggplant parmigiana w/out cheese.  Of course, I couldn't finish it all and left some for dinner.  Food from Basset's is delicious.  More good news: upon arriving home, I was met by Davidoff .  What a glorious collection of benzene, nitrosamines, formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, indeed!  Makes me forget about troubles and relax, enjoy peaceful life.
Now I am drinking Sweet Tea, Brisk.  Not bad at all.  I am celebrating life.  It is a great, short thing that comes and goes, but memories of its super moments remain...

Cigarette withdrawal - infinite sadness....

Yesterday I played demos on Steam all evening.  Many, many demos.  The only ones that were somewhat decent were Bioshock and Mass Effect 2.  However, I don't feel like buying the full games.  Bioshock seems weird...  probably a good game, but it gives me creeps.  Mass Effect got some issues with enemies...too long to explain.  Both look good, but somewhat repeatable.  I ordered older games on sale through Amazon: less than 10 bucks each...maybe it will play: the last cheap game I got from Amazon - Virtual Resort Spring Break - tried it yesterday - did not work even after reinstallment.  I think it's an evening of Re-Stalking...

I just had one and a half slices of vegan pizza and still have two orders of garlic nuts in refrigerator.  Flushed the pizza with Snapple, peach flavor - it is still good, even though does not taste as great as it did 10-15 years ago.  Something got lost in the recipe.  I smoke the last cigarette - Kent - at work.  I refuse to buy even one pack at such high prices - more expensive than each game I bought for computer!  Smoking cheap Exacta little cigars...they will surely help me quit smoking...with their taste and lack of nicotine...  Bought three shirts on sale at Telco.  Met my father there, shopping for jeans.  Telco is still the best cheap chain around... 

Chernobyl calling...

Bionic Commando was an awesome game.  I really liked it.  Downloaded lots of demos, playing Tropico3 more than others.  Decided that I haven't played Stalker: Call of Pripyat in a while and restarted in veteran mode. 
Smoking Exacta little cigars because Warrior little cigars sort of stink more.  Not enjoying what I smoke... not buying regular cigarettes either... let mayor choke on lack of sales and therefore revenues...got too greedy..!
Although local grocery owner said that demand is just slightly lower...  I wish I could buy cigarettes at same prices as the rest of America...  My father said we could go to Virginia...they live like people there... 4 bucks for a pack...  Maybe I will need to stop smoking...can't afford it.. then life outside the prison cell will seem to get even more close to life inside of it...I have a feeling if things will go this way further, soon we won't know the difference.  It always starts from something less than significant....  and then rolling into Great Depression...

weekend getaway

Yesterday my parents and myself went to NJ.  My coworker advised me of a Japanese Mall: restaurants, marketplace, bookstores, etc.  I finally found what I was looking for: ONEGIRI.  I made 60+ bucks worth of purchases. Then we ate at one of the restaurants: surprisingly cheap and tasty.  The place is unbelievable: could not find anything like it in Manhattan or Brooklyn.  We will definitely come back again and again: just 26 miles from me.  I am surprised at how Japanese able to have better food, higher quality of products even in USA.  I feel cleaner after going there.  However, the Japanese people look different here.  Different look in the eye.  It is obvious that Japanese in Japan live much happier than Japanese in US, even if their level of prosperity is likely higher.  Maybe I should visit Israel?

food is in my stomach - do I need a topic?

Picked up laundry, went to auto body shop to order mirror for car, paid in full but didn't get a receipt.  I doubt they will forget me in one day - I have to pick up the order and get it installed tomorrow.  Mother had a gum surgery. I fried mushrooms with wasabi sauce, some french mustard, soy sauce and Podravka spices.  It was tasty, flushed it with pomegranate and blueberry juice.  Fixed some issues in computer's new drive, still some oustanding stuff that could be resolved later.  Still trying to install Singularity, it did not install yesterday.  Maybe I should call my mother to find out how she is??

P.S. A coworker said that all girls drink blood.  I wonder if she was joking... ALL???  I thought only 90+ percent....

Computer Weekend

Upgraded my computer.  Now I have 4 drives, with MyBook - 5 drives.  I bought a fancy video card for 300 bucks - DDR5 1024 Gb - now I can play any games again.  Installed Windows XP Pro on my new "games" drive.  Installed SATA connection drive - can buy two more SATA drives later on and have them working through SATA connection cord.  Upgraded power unit: agreed to buy 500, but it did not work with new video card and I had to get 750volts.  Also, bought an wireless-n usb Netgear adapter - works great.

The company that delivered my cigarettes closed.  I will need to find alternatives, while it is still legal to smoke.  I can always quit when it will be officially illegal to smoke.  It will be a problem with peeing though, if they would outlaw it...  but smoking is not a big problem.  Metro 2033 still doesn't work on STEAM.  Sent them a request to check exe file - no response yet.  Sniper Ghost warrior is now playing great!  It was indeed a video card memory issue.  I am sure other games that were too slow will now be playable.  Right now I am installing Singularity.  Doubt it will be a great game, but it would be nice to see any game that I bought recently just running...

morning rents

I ponder, I... ponder...punder...poonder...pander...panda...
I panda.
Panda's look like zebras.  I am not a zebra.  Therefore, I am not a panda.
It's a bear.  Small bear.  I like them big.  I am a big bear.  Black or brown?
More brown, I guess.  I am a big brown bear. 
Therefore, I will grin and bear it.
The burdens, the life.  Is it injustice? No, it's just life.  Life is good.  Life is tough.  Not bad, though.  Pretty good.  When it becomes bad, we have the choice to end it.  Free will and stuff.  Then we don't have life.  So we can't say life is bad.  Because we no longer have it.  The Lord doesn't let you have more burdens then you can handle.  Because if he does give you a heavier cross, then you will most likely die.  Therefore, you are no longer given a heavy cross to bear, because you can rest in pieces.  Life is just.
And still...I panda, panda, panda...I zebra? NO, I'm a lion.  Yellowish orangy hairy thing.  I am going bold.  My hair is not red.  I am not a lion.  Lions have red hair.  Hunted by Big Business.  Stay in the zoos in urban areas.  Prisonish...  I am free.  Free to work 9 to 5, free to keep my mouth shut, free to not participate in any movements that may jeopardize my life.  Freedom to pay taxes.  Freedom to pay for housing and utilities.  Freedom to pay for gas for car and for food.  These freedoms are taken away in prison.  Government pays for your bed, utilities and food.  You don't drive your car to 9 to 5 work.  You are not free.  You can say any derogatory terms and it will be ok.  Only in jail.  Not outside.  That's order.  If you want to curse all the time, you can only get that freedom in jail.  Or if you are a married man.  Or a celebrity.  Marriage, celebrity status, prison.  SO much in common.  Look up - point up - see the rich and powerful... if you are in jail, soon it could be you.  Life's Promise.  Do something, pay something, get something.  Funny... or sad? Sad and funny.  I don't want to do something... I don't want to pay anything... I don't wish to get something...  Makes sense?  Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.  AH...  I don't want to do the time...  It's timely enough as it is.  Therefore, no crime for me.  I pay my parking tickets, yeah.   Hey, don't bother me, I can fart too!  I deserve human rights, I fart!...like animals...and birds...and fishes under see...We are all brothers and sisters...Because nobody can find a real Father and Mother figures...  We are Family, we got all our sisters and me... Ya...I want to upgrade my computer.  Almost all games I bought are not playing properly because I have old video card.  Also, I need to get a new mirror for my car....  I am lazy, I don't want to go to store...Bought a NextStar SATA drive holder for almost 100 bucks just to find out my old hard drives weren't SATA...Felt stupid...  I could have spend the money on some other useless and meaningless junk.  Like computer games...that you play for a week and then forget...  Have to see parents today...  I am off to balance my testosterone levels on MFC....  meah

holiday

running low on cigarettes...              it's a link
      I went to Chigurin today, ordered out avocado rolls and Yu To Fu (bean curd soup, very good).  I bought lots of stuff in Chinese grocery to make a mushroom soup at home, which I am boiling now for tomorrow.  In Cherry Hill I got lots of other stuff to eat and drink, including lots of cubed sugar.  I ate all the sugar almost a week ago and did not have time to get more....  I will throw out garbage later tonight.  My father wanted me to go somewhere tomorrow, but I decided to chill out all day:  I will stay in bed and try to get extra sleep.

Happiness is a Full Stomach!

                                                           

4th of July (sort of) Getaway

My parents and myself went to Woodbury Outlet Mall, one of the largest malls in the upstate NY.  The choices/selection was clearly better than other malls.  There were numerous designer labels and fancy clothing stores.  However, the prices, even with 4th of July sales, were not as great as, for example, in any TJ Maxx stores, where we went as well.  I bought three shirts, three ties, a new wallet (Timberland, 20bucks), and my parents bought me two more dress shirts and a new saucepan.  We ate at Food Court at Au Bon Pain: lots of vegetarian and vegan choices, great food, but also expensive.  On the way back we discussed where I can go for next vacation and found out that I don't feel like going anywhere at all.  It's not that safe...  and where it is reasonably safe, I don't wish to go...  I think I will buy me some computer gadgets and games instead this year.
Weather was hot, and I walked a lot (noticed my growing stomach expanding), so I will look like an American Indian tomorrow...  My parents told me I need to go to barber...  I think I will do that next week.

P.S. The link that I was mentioning in the previous post is mysteriously gone.  Heh, claimants:)

Pain in my neck

I "googled" my name on web and found a new link that lists me as a Democrat.  I don't know who posted it, but they have information from 20th century.  In 21st century, I was only supporting Independent Party.  Yes, Virginia, it's a Three Party System...
My parents want to go away from NY on 4th of July weekend.  They want me to come with them.  I think I'll go with them this time...
