I knew somthing odd was going to happen today! Today at about 2pm I found a small child approximately 5 years old standing outside of my front yard staring at my dog, just imagine a black german shepard and you get the idea of what he looks like, the kid was standing there perfectly still staring at my dog... My dog had his fur up and was about to start growling at the kid... he has had problems with kids since a bunch of them attacked him, but he usually just barks once or twice and then runs off. Eventually the kid crouched down out of site and I couldn't tell what he was doing. I rushed over and grabbed my dog by the collar to make sure he didn't rush the gate and possibly jump it to get at the kid. I caught a glimpse of the kid through the gate and yelled out for him to leave before he scarred the dog, I asked politely not wanting to scare the kid. The kid stood up, made eye contact with me for a few seconds and then began to walk down the road where he was then picked up by another small child on a dirt bike! How does a kid just over a foot tall get a dirt bike?! It was one of those tiny 50cc bikes by the way... Now to clerify this: where I live we have a problems involving drug dealers, crime, prostitutes & several stray pitbulls... so why the hell was a young child out on the street alone?! Hell, I'm afraid to walk the streets some times! Me & my cousin then spent the next 30 minutes laughing at how strange the scene of the kid was.

Now the second thing: Late tonight after downloading a rather hard to find file (Im a software pirate BTW) I caught site of somthing odd, one of the files was acting wierd... not respoding to me but functioning on its own, guess what? I caught a spy on my computer! The spy was moving and sorting through my files looking for somthing, most likely a system file to destroy! So in a decisive move I ripped out my internet connection and all his connections to my computer were severed, I then erased his sortware on my computer using my own hacking/spy stuff and fixed the damage he had done, nothing major, but still annoying. For a few moments I had quite a scare... No spy's going to destroy my computer... I'm trying to build a rep here! This was one hell of a crazy day!

This is it, I've had enough! This computer has pushed me too far! I've had no system sounds and internet based sounds for 6+ Months! There is virtually no cure for this affliction! I have talked to every technical support guru and Microsft techncian across the island and I cannot solve this problem! So I'm pulling out all the stops and I'm going to reformat my hard drive, which may not seem like much to some people, but for me its a big deal. Last time I did this an error occured and I would have had to pay big money to get it fixed if my warranty would have expired. It expired the next day, I got bloody lucky with that one. So today I'll be preparing my backup cd's, pending re-installing my burning software which some how expired! I payed for a life time of burning privelidges! Not 4 months! May computer salesmen and all technical support staff rot in hell! Excluding the fine people down at Bioware and Capcom who have never failed to rectify a problem I have faced..

I can sense an evil pressence inside my house twisting it's way through the winding corridors, squeezing through the very cracks in the walls, trying to impede my progress. Wish me luck! I'm going to need it!

Two days ago my mother informed me that she was getting a new computer from a friend, who was also getting a new computer. Which means this computer was already used up and useless. She forgot to mention that this computer came with a whole bunch of extra parts: Two monitors, two keyboards, printer, a box full of broken mice, several broken speakers, a headset microphone, a two box's full of Install CD's and Disk's! I set the computer up for her, and tossed aside the broken pieces as they surfaced. After messing around with the computer and looking for any files worth keeping, I found out the computer was, as I predicted, crap. It only had 233mhz and 64mb Ram, which is only slightly weaker than there last computer: a 333mhz, 128mb ram junker. The computer had been wiped clean of files as well. How she's going to use this computer is beyond me... I have problems running MSWord and the Internet on my 2.2ghz computer! Oh well, as long as she enjoys it. I only found two things in the mass of computer scrap that were salvagable for me: The Headset Microphone, and a year old re-built 17 inch flatscreen monitor! With this new monitor in hand I can now actually see what I'm doing!

As I was walking through my local Walmart today, I spotted some odd "glowing" machine outside the food court. I ventured my way over to inspect the curious device. It turned out to be a "Acme Crane Company" brand claw machine. I've always despised these money gobling monstrosity's ever since I saw my mother waste over $10 on a plush Duck she didn't want after the first dollar. So as I was turning back I caught a glimpse of somthing... it was black and red, sorta spikey... by god! It was a plush Shadow the Hedgehog! This 7.5 inch tall stuffy imediatly riled up some raw emotion in me, probably the one of sadness over how I saved up money as a child to buy a large stuffed Sonic... and then the store went out of business and moved away! Driven by rage, and probably greed, I jammed $2 in the machine and went after Shadow! I got the claw wrapped around his head with my first attempt and the crane limply dragged him over too the drop slot, but somthing bad was about to happen... Shadow fell and slumped on the edge off the slot! He was litterally holding onto the edge of the slot as the other stuffed critters began to engulf him. I had to act quick, but I had no more valid change! As I despaired over my luck, the machine piped up and said: "Try Again! Play untill you win!" I jumped in surprise and snatched at the controller franticly, preying I could pull Shadow from the clutches off his stuffed captor's! I managed to slip the crane arm around his only visible arm and pull him to safety, he sort of dangled in the crane for a few moments before the arm snapped open and he fell out the bottom of the machine right onto my foot! Victory was mine! I wrapped up my trip too Walmart and put Shadow down triumphantly on my couch next to me. I checked out his tag and found out he was part of a five piece set of 15th anniversary Sonic plush toys! Scrounging the net brought up nothing on them... either no one knows about them yet, or no one cares. Either way, I will be making a return trip to the that claw machine to see if I can procure any more of the set... I'm pretty sure I saw a pink hedgehog!
