Rants *enter at own risk*

I am so so so so so so so so so so so so mad right now. Furious, actually. Once again, Windows automatically updated my computer last night. I wont even mention which files and conversations I lost that I had to have.

Try doing a system restore. Windows should have made a restore point before installing updates. It doesn't always put files back that were moved/deleted/corrupted, but it may.

Just got back from the neurologist, seems I have to cut back on the soda and get more sleep :evil:

Just got back from the neurologist, seems I have to cut back on the soda and get more sleep :evil:

Good luck with that. I can't go a day with out pop or I will get caffeine headaches. I know that may not sound like a big deal but it is as caffeine withdrawal can lead to nasty migraines for me.

As for people going your going to have problems from soda. Well that may be but you only live once and I already got problems so what another few going to do. I been drinking soda for more then 16 years, everyday. Out of what problems I did have none of them were do to soda or caffeine. Only the headaches from caffeine withdrawal. Matter a fact I only been in hospital 2 times in my 20 years of life. And out of them 2 times only one was really bad as in could lead to death. That would be the bloodcolt I had at age 17, do to a disorder that I inherit. This problem could hit me again at anytime and there nothing I can about it.

As for sleep. I don't really sleep. I have to force myself to go to bed just so I will get up for college else I would stay up untill I did feel sleepy and that could be a day or more. No joke, you should see me on friday. If I go to bed the night before friday at 11:00 PM and get up at 7:00 AM on friday, I will not go to bed untill like 8:30 AM saturday.

[Yata]

Withdraw from caffeine is awful. I went through that for a bit. It sounds odd but it's true. After a while you adjust, though. Whine yourself off of it.

And HITMAN, that sort of outlook of "everything might kill me so who cares" makes no sense to me. Why not try all you can to make your one life (Well, then again I beleive in reincarnation..) the best it can be? Another few problems could be cancer, or anything bad, so I wouldn't say that. When you stop drinking so much sugar and caffeine you notice a huge difference in focus and sleep scheduling too.

In summer, I go to bed at like three in the morning. As soon as I get up (well, after doing the teeth and the hair and getting dressed) I go straight to the computer. My whole families the same way. Maybe that's why we never get robbed, Mom is always watching complete seasons of ER at 4:27 AM.

[Bobofthedead]

Sounds healthy. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9905E2DB173FF93BA25757C0A9609C8B63. Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

Point is I could do everything in my power to try and live and then bang dead. Here one second and gone the next. It just does not matter. When your time is up, it is up. I do believe that there is a force out there that can't be seen much like the grim reaper. From all the death I have seen and things I have saw it seems to fit in just fine. Everything happens for a reason and death is one of them. So if death is going to take me then it going to take me and there not a thing I can do about it. I know that may be hard for some people to think about or understand but I have come to terms with it and I just don't care anymore as you can't run from it. My outlook on death is one of the reasons I didn't cry at the last 5 funerals I been to.

People can try and push it out of there head and think that they are in control of there lifes all they want but in the end they can't stop the outcome.

Lets say that my life span is up when I am 30 (Very short), Now unless I do something that would damn myself to hell forever to make my life span end (If you don't know what I am taking about then you may need to do some reading), I will live till I am 30. Even if I were to get shot in the head at point blank at age 25 I would not die and I would live on till 30 with brain damage. Thats my out look on it.

So why not enjoy your life the way you feel fit as long as it not hurting someone else life ?. That how I see it.

In summer, I go to bed at like three in the morning. As soon as I get up (well, after doing the teeth and the hair and getting dressed) I go straight to the computer. My whole families the same way. Maybe that's why we never get robbed, Mom is always watching complete seasons of ER at 4:27 AM.

Well being what I am, I spend to much time in front of a computer. After the bloodcolt I learn that I up my chances of getting the bloodcolt just from seating at the computer all day. They told me that it can happen to anyone and that it only happen to me as fast as it did because of the disorder that can casuse my blood cells to colt faster.

[Yata]

So you're saying something along the lines of:

[metaphorical situation]

My name is Carl. I am morbidly obese by terms of my own choice. I am a chronic alcohol and drug user and I do not care because it will not matter because nothing affects how and when I die.

Being a wiccan I beleive the same as you; everything happens for a reason and you die when you're meant to die. But obviously we can make our current lives better by living healthier. Note the CURRENT. Yeah, there's tons of bloody potato all over the news and from opinionated doctors in ivory towers saying this and that and this in that will kill you or shorten your lifespan. Most of that is just as I said: bloody potato. But then there's also an obvious side to this, certain things are plain not good for you. Caffeine makes you sluggish whether you realize it or not, and harms your focus and sleep pretty badly.

I never said anything about lifespan.

[rant]I wish CMD was on AIM [/rant]

[Crazy Man Dan]

CMD has to leave for Green Bay - I need to stop at the office, and class starts again this evening.

I have a few opinions I'd like to add as to the ongoing discussion between Hitman and Yata, but again, I've gotta leave right quick, so it'll have to wait for later.

Save your thoughts though Mike. You should see me pop up between 9-10 CDT this evening if you're online.

[Mike Ryan]

New Rant: CMD is going back to college

[jake2k]

Wow I didn't mean to start a debate haha, the only reason I'm gonna cut back is I've been going heavy on the soda and no sleep thing for awhile now and its getting old lol. As far as what you guys are talking about, personally I think life is a long endeavor (most of the time) and I'd rather life it healthy and fit if at all possible . I can drink all the soda I want when I die

[Yata]

I like the small debates we get into around here. It's refreshing.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, but I think to get it out of the hair of the Rants thread we should move it on over to the Tackboard advertising for CMDTackboard>

[Yata]

Mike, we need a marriage consoler. We really do.

Hahaha.

[brandon.roeder]

RANT: my laptop over heats, and its burning my lap! anything to solve this?

[Mike Ryan]

That would be very very akward having a marriage counselor for you and I, Yata. I think we would scare some of the new members away *Pause and Think* (New members go away, hmm...) *Comes to Conclusion* Yup, we do need a marriage counselor. Split the payment, Yata?

@brandon.roeder: there are all sorts of solutions, such as a lap pad with integrated fans and everything.

[HITMAN-X-]

I like the small debates we get into around here. It's refreshing.

Me to. I like Yata and I am not going to start a war or notthing with him. I would stop debating if I though it was getting out of hand and could damage what friendship I got between Yata. I am sure he feels the same.

My name is Carl. I am morbidly obese by terms of my own choice. I am a chronic alcohol and drug user and I do not care because it will not matter because nothing affects how and when I die.

Ya so his death would be a overdose when he takes to many drugs without thinking and not knowing he will OD one day and passes out from the alcohol. So he now dead, and did not try to kill his self. However if he was not a chronic alcohol and drug user he would of still died on the same day at the same time of something else.

I can't say if he enjoyed his choice over not doing drugs and alcohol to live healthier. But if it did manke him happy and it was not hurting anyone else then leave the guy alone.

I enjoy soda and I hate water. So for me to drink water by itself is not enjoyable, however I do enjoy soda.

So untill I start seeing something that going to be less enjoyable do to soda then I may stop. Other then that the enjoyment from soda is greater then my lost of sleep right now.

You can buy laptop USB fan things- they're thin and rectangular, and they go under your laptop to keep it cool. All you gotta do is plug one in.

Here's an example:

RANT: The forums were down...Again....

I mean is Forumer actually doing something useful to these servers or just doing this to annoy us?

Funny thing as I though we were on the main / master server. Which means if were going down there main sites and forums are going down to. I think that tells you were we stand to them.

On anther note I installed a clean version of the new IPB 2.3.5 forums software and will be testing it out after this movie.

Now time to Rant: My power bill is up by $20 yet I have used less items that take power. Matter a fact my last bill, I used heat, were as this one I have not had heat on at all. So what is sucking the power. I live alone and I got 520 kWh used in 32 days :shock:.

I like my AMD Dual Core a lot better than an Intel, and its cheaper.

[eraser18]

Do you by any chance live in Ontario? It was 31 degrees today, our school doesn't have AC, and I was wearing black skinnies D:

No, I live in upstate New York, not very upstate, but near Poughkeepsie and Saugerties, NY, if you have any idea where those are. Let's just say the heart of the Catskills. I love me some Catskills!

And I do assume you mean 31 degrees celcius. :wink:
