I find myself using Google chrome today. I first started a few days ago on my Eee Pc since it takes a lot less power to run than firefox. Also it’s very minimalistic so it is definitely good in that respect since I’m always trying to conserve screen wherever I can. However there is no setting for a Full Screen browsing experience! That’s the one thing I wish it had. However I do prefer it over IE so far although since I downloaded IE 8 I have taken a little bit of a liking to it. Oh and no, IE 8 isn’t out. Well it is but it’s in beta stages. You can download the beta of it online if you want. Like IE 7 it improves on security and add-ons which is nice. However Firefox was the king of Add-Ons as far as web browsing goes. And when I’m on my Lenovo I usually don’t care about memory useage or power needed to run it. However I even find myself using chrome when on my Lenovo. In fact I’m using it right now. The one thing I really like a lot about Chrome is when you start to type in the address bar it automatically predicts what you want to say. I know firefox gives you suggestions and I love that but the thing is you have to hit the down arrow to select the one you want. With Chrome it’s already there, so when I want to open Google all I have to do is press F6 and then type g and press enter. I’m there. Much more efficient then typing g and hitting the down arrow.  I just with Chrome had smooth scrolling too. Whenever I scroll with my mouse it’s really chunky and I loose my place. Get to it Google!

I’ve realized that recently I’ve been posting all my blogs around 11:50 at night. That’s when I start writing by the way. I can’t seem to remember to actually do it and put thought into them. Probably tomorrow I will since I’ll be out and about on campus going to all my classes. However I’ll probably forget and end up slamming out a blog in 5 minutes and rushing to post it so I get paid for today and not tomorrow instead because of a 1 minute time difference. Anyways in the computer world I’ve taken a liking to Google Chrome browser. However I won’t be switching so quickly since it has quite a few bugs in it as of yet. Also I’ve been interested in Windows 7. This is the windows version that will replace windows Vista. I’m excited for this because I am a windows user and well, I like Vista a lot but I also use it on a very powerful computer. So I’m hoping that windows 7 will be even better than Vista and run even better!I’m sick and tired of people whining about vista because in reality, it’s mostly people who try to run it on old outdated computers or really cheap computers that really can’t handle it. And as for people that say “It uses all my ram!” the truth is, when your desktop is idle, ram that isn’t being used is worthless. So Vista sores information in it and uses that to open programs faster. Then when you need it for something else it clears it out and makes way for other information. I have had very few problems using vista and am quite happy.  

So I realized that I really have no plans so far for Halloween. However I have been talking to my friend Zack and we may go up to SSU to hang out. There we might be joined by others including Katie and get into mischief. I’m not sure what I want to be either. We might stick around SF too though. I’m not sure. I know that SOMETHING will be going down here in SF but I’m just not sure where or when. I’ll talk to some people.

Why did that last paragraph sound like I was talking to somebody…? Maybe I subconsiously wrote it to myself as a note. But I don’t think I’m ever going to go back and look at this blog as a big post-it note. Thought that would be handy since I could access it anywhere I have a connection to the Internet. I’ve also stopped caring about view for my blog. The fact is, unless I get a preposterous amount of views it’s just not going to generate me much money at all. That and the fact that I don’t think many people found my blog to be that interesting.

I’m using Mozilla Firefox and it has a spellchecker built in and it works for about the first paragraph and then later in my blog it just stops working and i have to use the blogs one. It’s a little annoying because I like correcting my mistakes right away. Anyways I’m tired. Maybe I’ll sleep soon. Probably not. I hate sleeping.

So I came to the sudden realization today that I’m incredibly white. However because of TV and the media (I think) I have been brought up to believe that I’m not all that white. I listen to hella thug music like Akon, TYGA, Bone Thugs N’ Harmony, and lots of others. I have a shirt that says THUG LIFE on the back. I’m a straight up G. This may sound strange to many of you but let’s face the facts here: I’m really white.

Now I’m trying to get a little darker, not in the sense that I want to become a black person, but my skin is also quite white, so I’m trying to get a little darker in that sense. So I run with no shirt on, don’t worry I have licences for my “guns”. Wow ok that was a bad joke, sorry. I just couldn’t resist. However I don’t think that I’m going to try to tone down my thug ways. I like being who I am, and what I am is a straight up thug.

Now just so you all know, I don’t really think that I’m a true thug. I’m not going to go out and buy a tall-t and a 9 mill and try to bust a cap or something. I just came from a small town called Petaluma which is predominantly white. Also my school was predominantly white. And whenever I make a joke about another race (Come on, we all do it sometimes. I’m not a racist.) it usually happens to be when somebody of that race is walking behind me.

So I’m sitting in my room, well, lying on my bet. Phill is sitting in the chair, hopefully trying to solve a Rubik’s cube. I don’t know weather or not he is aware that you can’t solve a Rubik’s cube  without knowing the steps. It’s just about mathematically impossible. Armando is on his bed, telling me that if I can’t hear because I have headphones on, I can’t see. I think he’s wrong.

Carrie is sitting at my desk. She now has my Rubik’s cube, she MUST not know that she won’t be able to solve it. But I have decided not to crush her  hopes and dreams by telling her that. Were all watching Comedy Central. It’s pretty funny stuff. There’s this guy Kirk Fox. He’s got a weird style of humor but I  guess it’s pretty funny.

Anyways I’m going to go now. Zack is coming down tonight and we got some plans. Anyways… Albert out! Wow that sounded gay…

You probably know what a LOL Cat is. It’s when you get a picture of a cat and put a caption next to it to make it funny. Potentially to make you “lol” or “Laugh Out Loud”. There is in fact a website, lolcats, that has a very large supply of these images. You can check it out if you want.

I heard of the site by watching Arby ‘n the Chief series on YouTube. Well anyways, I was searcing YouTube a few years ago looking for  a video that would prove to my friend that cat’s do always land on their feet. What I found was very funny and also disproved my point but I was lawling so much that I didn’t even care. I have shown almost all my friends this video and I finally go the idea to just steal it and edit it to make it even more funny! I added in the “Holy Shit!” sounds and the “PWNED” at the end. You can find the origional video by searching “cat’s can’t land on their feet” if you really want. Mines way better though. Click on the picture above to go to the video.

On a side note, I bought a Domain name and am currently trying to set it up and host my stuff somewhere but it’s taking a bit. So we’ll see what happens. In the meantime you can check out my site here. Ignore the stuff about a banner. That was when I was on a different host.  And that’s not my doain name (URL), that’s what SFSU gave me. I’m using it in place of www.iamalbert.com till I can get that up and running. Tell me what you think so far.

Well I didn’t really know what to write about but I grabbed a pear on my way out of the Dining Center this hi evening and I just picked it up off my desk and ate it. Well I haven’t “eaten” it yet. I’m currently taking bites out of it. Now Carrie came in so we got Matt, Carrie, Armando, and Sam in the room. Crowded but it’s chill. hi.

Ok so that last “hi” was form Carrie. I like to keep the heater on and the fan on at the same time so that it’s breezy and hot at the same time. It’s wonderful. Plus the heater makes it smell like Christmas. I’m kinda looking forward to Christmas but at the same time I’m not because I’m not too excited because I don’t really know. Well I don’t really feel like blogging tonight. I was going to do an informative piece on how the media changes our perception of beauty.

A plane crashes on the boarder of Kansas and Utah, where do you bury the survivors?

I just watched Wall-E and I have to say, I found it to be a fantastic movie. I remember when I first saw a poster for it in the movie theater back in Petaluma and I thought: Who would want to go see that other than some kids? However now that I’ve seen it I can understand why everybody that saw it loved it so much. It’s such a powerful movie and I find that the most powerful moments in the movie are created with almost absoutly no dialogue. It’s amazing!

Now if you haven’t seen it then please go out and watch it. I’m not going to talk about it here to any extent because I don’t want to give anything away but I do want to tell you that it is a very powerful movie that I think everybody can enjoy. Even if your an 19 year old college student going to San Francisco State.

So I’m about to watch Wall-E. Yeah I know it hasn’t been released to DVD yet but I have my sources on how to get it. Please don’t comment me asking how to get it because I probably can’t post about it here. I’ve already gotten trouble once for telling people how to block the ad’s on the site.

Anyways, I got back to my dorm about 3 hours ago and spend a bit of time teaching Katie the basics of PowerPoint so she could make a presentation for the morality class she’s a TA for. I don’t know why she has to make a presentation, sounds like that’s something the student’s should be doing. haha oh well. Then I went and chilled in Phill and Travis’s room for like 2 hours and talked about… well, stuff. I dunno. Not much really :p

Well I’m going to go watch Wall-E now and maybe after it’s over I’ll write a blog post about it and then maybe pound out some homework. We’ll see what happens. I only have English homework though and my class isn’t till 7pm tomorrow anyways. So I may just do it after cross country practice.

So I’m in Tahoe with Katie! We were going to go up Friday at around 5 but my coach said I have practice on Saturday. Friday night he informs me that I don’t. So when Katie get’s up at  8 we decided to still go to Tahoe and get up at about 12:30 in the morning.

I think that was the best decision because we have more time to do stuff now. If we left today we would just have gotten here and then we would have been tired and probably took a nap. Now were going to go into town and get shampoo because Katie forgot to bring it. Maybe some orange juice too. Well see. 

I managed to forget both the charger for my computer and my cell phoone. I think I’ll be ok though. I don’t get service up here and I brought my Eee Pc so I still have about 3 and a half hours of battery life left. I think I can make it :p

Anyways were going to be heading out now so I’ll probably post tomorrow before we leave for home to let all you interested readers know what we ended up doing.
