Only if I'm INCREDIBLY bored and willing to throw money away. I will only see another Peter Jackson movie if he goes back to his "Bad Taste" and "Brain Dead/Dead Alive" years, back to his gory movies. Then I will freaking CAMP outside the theater to see it.

The most PRATICAL form of martial art is the Krav Maga. It's straight to the point, and is also taught in many police academies around the world. You won't get good phisical results with it and you won't be able to demonstrate it or use it in competitions, but it gets the job done. The most COMPLETE form of martial arts is the shaolin-derived traditional kung fu form, as you'll get to "improve" your mind, your energy flow, your concentration, your phisical shape, your strenght, flexibility, everything.

Let's see if I know this one by memory...


Hello... Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me... Is there anyone home?
Come on... now... I hear you're feeling down... I can ease your pain, put you on your feet again...
Relax... I need some information first... Just the basic facts, can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
Wher I was a child, I had a fever
My hands felt like two balloons
Now I got this feeling once again, I cannot explain, you would not understand, this is not how I am...
I have become confortably numb

OK... Just another pinprick...
There'll be no more AAAAAAHHHHH!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up? I do belive it's working, good.
That will keep you going trhough the show.
Come on, it's time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child, I cought a fleeting glimpse
Out out the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
And I have become confortably numb...

Intense stuff, yes. My dad says he would have shot him as soon as he pulled the gun out had his kids and his fiance not been there.

Webrowsers are something only the biggest geeks argue over.


I don't think so. In order to be a grownup and discuss toys, you would have to be a geek. Web browsers are discussed by anyone who dares use them, my mom asks me things about web browsers when she tries to use the web and she is the complete opposite of a geek, so...

Harry Potter *Spoilers* (Serious Discussions Only, No Flaming)
Time
You know, when I watched on the news all those media-brainwashed kids waiting until midnight with their "credit card parents" to buy a copy of the latest Harry Potter book while true literature is forgotten or ignored, I was reminded of Fahrenheit 451. But then again, I reminded of myself on the midnight line to see ROTS, so...

But regarding those Harry Potter books, I'd rather read good old Kafka, thank you very much, no matter how much those crappy teenage fantasy book sell.

The problem is the costs of making and distributing a CD. It can get really expensive to transport them worldwide, and there are lots of taxes in each of the steps in the making of a CD. Also, CD stores tend to overprice CDs depending on the demand, if a single surprisingly becomes a hit, the album's price goes up. The solution is distributing through the internet, but without any middle men, the musicians selling their music online directly to those who buy it. Prices would be low, and musical quality would improve, since musicians would not depend on one or two good singles to sell an entire CD filled with other 9 or 10 crappy tracks.

Things I hate: having to face too much burocracy and red tape in order to get something. I hate moving out to a place I don't know, with no one I know living there. I hate driving while I'm sleepy. I hate when I want to go out but there's no good places to go, at least nowhere I haven't been before. I hate overpriced CDs. Hmn, can't think of anything else right now.

Is it me, or Firefox uses up too much memory?
If memory is a problem, let me recommend Opera 3.60. Runs beautifully on a Windows 3.x platform with 4MB RAM. The install file also fits on a single floppy disk.


Memory is not a problem, I just thought there was some sloppy programming going on on Firefox. I'll take a look at the source code later, see if I can spot any problems. Who knows? I might even contribute for another version.
