You should get a helmet
Damn, I don't update often enough, I think.
So a few things have been going on, most prominantly: travelling to Japan, getting a job, and fixing my computer.
I just got my passport yesterday and have also made a deposit for the trip, so my place is officially secure! This ties into the job-bit, because I'm still raising the money (by working) for the rest of the expenses for the trip. Expenses...you know, like hard liquor straight from a vending machine, maybe a few kimons here, some tabi here, and plenty of sushi on the side. Which will explain my death should I get mercury poisoning.
I vaguely recall now somebody saying they'd give me a call about helping them set up a garden in their backyard, but the face to that memory eludes me.
I'm also quite looking forward to getting my computer fixed. I'm going to be sending my video card (as soon as I can find a plastic bag to put it in that won't gather static) back to the manufacturer, and they're going to send me a brand-new card! Being as it is that it'll be brand new, I'm thinking of selling it and using that money to purchase a video card being sold by a friend of my Dad. I've got a Radeon x700, and he's got a Radeon 9800. A slight step up, but I think it'll help with some video compatibility issues for some of my games. Oh yes, and now my computer also has 2Gb of RAM! Sweet deal.
Most everything in life has been going well, sans calculus. I don't know why but my mind just exploded before the exam we had, as if it had been overloaded with math. But I guess spending all night and morning before the exam can do that (I did sleep though, 6 hours give-or-take) to your brain. The entire exam was all based on derivatives, including the hyperbolic functions, and deriving proofs. I had just been talking with her two days before the test about how I wanted to develope my conceptions of math to a point where I could derive and proove things, should I have to go that far. The only thing is that I'm not at that point yet. So I managed to get through it with scathes here and there, I know I at least got 65 points. ^_^;
I think I'm going to study more, and recover as best I can. At this point though, I probably coulding find the derivative of the inverse coshX using the definition of a limit, unless I had a little help. =P
What else...
Oh yes, though it is on hiatus at the moment because of my Dad's friend Lee staying with us, I'm also starting to show Justin some stuff on bass guitar. It's an interesting process, because I have to bring back all these bits of knowledge I've picked up, and translate them into something that can be understood without having to know anything about it yet. Are you writing out stuff yet? =P
I also feel like everything I do is taking time from something else. Granted, that probably is the fact of the matter, it is not a very fun fact. xp
But truths I suppose are the only real thing in life, and it helps to know more each day.
Oh ya, got shunted by a car the other day. Nothing as impressive as when Vanilla Thunder got hit, but still got hit decently by somebody being a little irresponsible. Not that he was soley to blame (in the sense that my brakes weren't strong enough to stop me instantly), but it was still a good shove. The dude got out of the truck, and we made the general "oh no, no, it's my fault" exchange. But yes, the inspiration for my title was the last thing he said to me before I rode off. A good word of advice no doubt, but a little rude to say after hitting the biker you're telling it to. To be exact about it, he was pulling out from behind an autobody warehouse, and looked towards city college for traffic, while driving out to the road.

That's my life, and I love it. Well, not so much the getting hit by cars bit, but that doesn't happen often.
