My computer is an utter piece of shit so I don't care.

I had to fix my charger last night. Where the AC to DC box is and where the wires come out of it to go to the computer I had to cut completely off and strip them and put a butt connector back to join them again since under the rubber boot thing it came apart and it would charge or run and current to my computer.

Every time I moved the computer I'd have to finagle the power cord to make it work, then finally got sick of it always doing that and not always coming back to power so I ripped the boot off, well cut it off and accidentally broke the ground wires and ended up cutting the positive wire on accident too, but it's all fixed and works like a charm again.

I should take a picture of my handy work.

Most of those are funny, but the Columbia one did not amuse me at all. Especially since that's exactly how it went.

I wish you could block information from certain espn citysites. Like I do not need to read anything posted on ESPNBoston or ESPNDallas...ever.

About to go play a hockey game, and I'm really sore from working out still. Should be fun.

For real.

Ben Bailey is a licensed cabbie and the cab operates as a regular taxi unless the passengers wanna play.

they pre screen contestants. they also arnt handed cash, they receive a check in the mail.

the people are told to take a cab, and they know they are going to be on TV, but they arnt sure in what way. so they sign a waiver, and enter the cab.

Yeah, no kidding. It's less scripted and manipulated than most reality TV garbage, that's for sure.

Survivor Contestants are screened, even recruited sometimes.

Deal or No Deal Contestants were selected based pretty much on bat-shit craziness. I'm convinced that the premise of that show wasn't winning money, but putting absolutely fuckjobs as close to Howie Mandel as possible and watching him cringe every time they came within ten feet of touching him.

heres something i read. this isnt what i read where i found out its fake, but:

http://badadvice.typepad.com/my_weblog/ ... ttere.html

"I don't want to get the breaker of the news in any trouble in case he signed some sort of confidentiality agreement, so I won't mention names, but it turns out this guy was cast as a contestant! And it wasn't even tryouts like Jeopardy! This guy had worked on some other TV show and the casting agents thought he'd be good and so he got the gig. They don't just randomly pick up people on the street."

of course, you can find out from just about any site they pre-screen the contestants, but thats the worst i found.

Yay new friends. One ones getting stale, and I just feel like entertainment when I'm with them, like I'm constantly performing. Everything is about me because I am so different from them and they just naturally make me stand out and poke fun at me... which has gotten old. Always performing is stupid. Someone else who's observed it commented that it's a freak show paradigm lol. And more guy friends... Girls end up being really needy after a couple of years, expecting things I just can't give.

I believe I should feel rather cold-hearted, but I just don't care. Cannot do it anymore. Just want to be part of a group and seen as a person instead of the entertainment, etc.

ditto here. im sick of hearing "davey! tell the story about the time you *insert embarrassing or funny story here* or "hey, let me break this bottle over your head!*

i guess its my fault. my awkwardness makes me shy, and thus to break this, i just go above and beyond to make people laugh, to the point of causing physical harm to my persons. im also sick of being the butt of every joke.
