"waaaaaaaaa"


Also, I hadn;t been logging onto GEEMC's ftp in awhile...Found out I had ~900 .tmp files (screenshot data - not the jpg's which take up space too) adding up to just under a gig of space being deleted.

Sorry for taking up server space Anthony :(

Pandora is usually better for finding new stuff, but if I were to want to find new stuff by one specific artist, I would use something else. In turk's case, Pandora would probably be better, but I was just throwing that out there.

I hate when, people use commas, when they shouldn't and then leave them out at the wrong places. (Not directed at any individual btw.)

Also, I now realize that it is a whole $4 more a month (curse you $8.99). Heresy.
That's all that Netflix costs? That's so damn cheap! Its like $8 just to rent 1 new dvd overnight here.

Indeed. Why does that happen any way?

Here's a summary of the conversation with the hairstylist...

Me: So, I need the hair to be above the eyebrows, about midear, and it can't be touching my collar, so take off a little bit back there.
Her: OK. So how much do you want off?

Like, really, does that even need to be explained?

Me: Umm, I... don't know...
Her: Like, half inch? One inch?
Me: We'll start at a half inch and see how it goes from there.

15 minutes later, I'm closer to being bald than I've ever been. I'm pretty sure I said, "1/2" inch, and not, "Take off 5 inches pl0x."


Then I went to Subway.
The man behind the counter sorta just stares at me. I look back at him, expecting the normal, friendly, "Hello, welcome to Subway! What can I get for you?" Instead, we stare at each other for like, 15 seconds until I say, "12 inch white bread with roasted chicken breast...."
LOL.

You may be crazy, but you don't abuse commas (much). Also, if you were suicidal, and then suicided, imagine what would happen to HaloMods. :O

So remember kids, don't kill yourselves.

Pandora.
If I'm at the right site then I'm not sure what to make of it. It wants you to know a specific song or artist and that is basicly my problem. I am trying to find new people to listen too.

Type in a song or artist name, and it will play similar songs by different artists. It's based on genre.

It's based off of any number of statistics for a specific song/artist.
Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features club rap roots, hardcore rap influences, southern rap roots, syncopated beats, and a use of a vocal counterpoint.
etc.

Scotty has too many emblems. I mean, honestly, can't we make some kinda emblem to maybe help merge these things? I personally like the amount of emblems I have. I'm kinda O.C.D. about these things, so I like my emblems to be symmetrical and blend well together. They compliment my Sig and Avatar. :P It just starts to kinda look bad when you get as many as Scotty. No offense man. :)
