Thoughts in the morning

So i was up before the sun this morning and started thinking...
What seperates a mass murderer and serial killer from the rest of us?
Cause I can tell you, that there were several times on the way in where I thought someone should die for thier annoyance, arrogance, "need to piss someone off", and general stupidity.
The short answer is:
Anger Control, and the fear of doing time in prison.
I saw 2 incidents this morning where clearly had it not been for law and self control someone would have died, and to top it off the anger reflected in the faces of all involved showed that had they unleasehed themselves more then that person would have felt thier wrath.
The first incident involved a man doing something I see everyday and still confuses and angers me.
At the top of the stairs and escalator at penn st. where HUNDREDS of people are coming up at a time,
why oh why do people feel when they reach the top (especially the escalator) they have the right to stop dead in thier tracks and do things like, make a phonecall, open a map, or just stop and stare?
Do they not realize someone is coming up behind them in that crowd of people they just traveled with?
Well the incident involved a Guy in a Suit checking his blackberry at the top of the escalator
The next few people squeezed around him but one guy decided "screw this" and bumped him....
Blackberry spilling to the floor (at this point I stopped walking to watch but I was off to the side and out of the way)
Suit screamed angry words at Bump guy and thats when I saw it:
The moment where the guy would commit murder had it not been for self control.
As Suit bent to pick up his blackberry the Bump guy approached from his side and proceeded to tell him in 4 letter words how stupid it is to stand at the top of the stairs. Suit stood up to reply but being still in the way (slightly off to the side where his blackberry fell) he was still getting bumped by people.
Suit gave the stare and said "A excuse me is a common courtesy"
Now I saw the look again of murder/death/destruction, but Bump guy gathered himself and just said "Fuck you moron" and walked away still angry.
People would do well to rememmber there is a fine line to them getting a public beating or not...

Non Smokers, SHUT UP!

LISTEN JACKASS!
I dont need you to tell me smoking is bad, I think I figured that out for myself especially with all the warnings all over the pack and the Johnson TRUTH freaks on patrol...
BTW If I find out any of those truth morons have ever smoked weed or hung out with someone who smokes weed, I will declare war! GOT THAT?
Now dont give me a lecture, dont harrass me dont tell me the benefits of quitting. I know already, if I havent quit or tryed to its time to mind your own goddamn biz, fool! Cause you know whats bad for your health?
A very angry ROB SHAW.
Now do something valuable like find out why there a liquor store on every corner in the hood or find out the effects of alchoholism and ban beer.
You got my fried foods, you took away fois gras,
you stopped me from going to a bar having a beer and a smoke,
you charge me up the ass to keep this habit going,
I think its time for you to back off and STFU!
Go hug a tree or something.
Cause I promise you
Harrassing me will cause more damage to you then any second hand smoke...
BITE ME

Get well soon Johnny

Our friend John Russell was admitted into Mountainside Hospital Thurs. Jan. 25th 2007 after running a 102.7 degree fever for 4 days. Turns out he has severe lower lobe pnuemonia and he was severly dehydrated, the Dr. said it was bad and good that he came in.
I got home on thursday and logged on to aim to find him by asking his sister where was he but she asked me first which led to what i could only assume as a wild panic on their side and a slight unease on mine. I went to his apt and couldn't find him there so I walked over to the emergency room and was able to track him down. He was so delerious he thought he told everybody he was going to the hospital but actually he told everyone he was waiting for me to take him inwhen i got home from work,
everyone except me that is.
I saw him last night and several people called him today he seems like hes on the road to recovery and iwish him luck, prolly going to see him later. If you want contact info just call/im me and I will gladly give you his room number and phone number.

People like the oddest things...

A few weeks ago I went to a friends house for a interestingly fun "game night" (random board/video games being played by the kids with adults involved), while attending I was standing in the kitchen observing the snacks (actually I was stuffing my face with brownies) when I noticed Slim Jims, a big box of 100 slim jims! After eating several in a variety of ways (canned cheese anyone?) I was told I could take them all with me...
HEAVEN!
I love Slim Jims, the wonderful taste of mechanically seperated chicken, beef and water!
Yum!
I brought them into work and setup the box like you would see in a store and invited people to take as they pleased.
First came the horror and disgust and giggling from people, then they started to try it...
this is the point where things take a odd turn,
they still complained but they were oddly addicted as if there was nicotine in them,
so of course they ate them all...
that was like 2 weeks ago.
people still look at the spot in a wierd fond memory like look...
they want more,
and I am all out,
could this lead to zombieism?

PS3 (I have decided to only post this from my old site...)

Ok i just spent a weekend with m ps3,
and damn i am tired...
now normally i would be burnt out from playing games and stuff
but no
I went the extra mile
tryed to install linux!
now for those ready to take the plunge on that...
first: setting up the ps3 to install linux is super easy there are prompts to do the partitioning
and to boot the cd
now that brings me to
Second: the "otheros.self" and the "otheros.bld" files must be loaded onto your usb key/memory stick (cf, sd, ms pro) USING A WIN MACHINE DO NOT USE A MAC (the mac adds something to the file that corrupts them.
Third: once you load that and boot into th linus boot (another simple step) it boots from the cd
now the distro you pick is important as to your knowledge of linux
Yellowdog: simple install and simple usage but it doesn seem to offer much in the way of multimedia (I am working on that) and installing updates using yum is default off for some reason(!) you have to edit a config file (ask me which i forget right now) to get it to work. I did find Enlightenment 17 a little unstable and went to Gnome (and later KDE by accident).
I havent had the time yet to install any rpms but YUM is supposed to find all the dependencies.
now after finding my limits and instability in Yellowdog I switched to a Gentoo install after reading THIS.
Gentoo: A FRIGGIN NIGHTMARE TO INSTALL
Took hours with me and John adding all the lines to the config files manually during install
there is no way this is newbie friendly.
and after hours we still got stuff wrong that wasnt covered in the Gentoo step by step,
and the manual compiling JESUS H CHRIST! windows is faster install then just compiling the tarball.
Then having to hunt down and manually rewrite some config files had me and John just deciding that Yellowdog wasn that bad at all.
as a matter of fact after hunting down and rewriting a few of the files I still couldnt get it to work!
So,
I am currently reinstalling Yellowdog...
John gave up and went home.
I will fiddle with this and let you know whats what with this.
(also the gentoo install did have some nice video settings, it offered, manually of course, me the chance to set it up to display in 480p, 568p, 720p, 1080i, it looked damn nice but i couldnt take it anymore...)
so there you have it.
Hopefully my next post will be about playing a game or something.
Maybe watching a nice Blu Ray movie :)

I moved!!!!!

Well I have moved my blog off of myspace...
welcome to my new home.
My next 3 posts are going to be the last 3 from my Myspace to catch everyone up and kinda set the mood.
If all goes well, then this should be something I continue.
Godspeed...
