my new mbox 2 mini won't install on my laptop, not b/c i'm missing anything, but because i don't have enough RAM. minimum needed is 768 according to the box, but during the install, i got some number like 384. i currently have 256 i think, 1 slot is free, and the max i think i can go with each slot is 512. now, do i get another 256, or get a 512?
*sigh* frustrating.
i'll just have to figure this out tomorrow or monday and buy some generic memory.
honestly, who knew having serious fun with music recording was going to take this much of a hassle(with money)

until celtics can win one against the big teams in the nba(and i might debately say it must be a close game near the end), i can't really say they even are considered an elite team yet; they have the potential to be though. but all of their losses have come from one the elite teams in the nba, and not even from the west; all of them have been against an eastern conference team(woot, go pistons and magic!)

i hate when ppl talk out loud to themselves when they are trying to think. it's annoying. really, really, annoying. why? well, i start wondering if they lack the brain power and mental ability to think only within their head.
---
going to be fooling around with the mbox for most of tomorrow. i haven't bought the condenser mic stuff, and the looper pedal hasn't arrived yet, so it'll just be a lot of fooling around with the guitar and pro tools software; gonna try installing it on my cpu today and see how it works. i need to level up my guitar skills a lot before i consider writing anything(need to learn how to do sweeps, tapping, eh, there's probably a lot more, but those two stick out on my head). or at least, before anything i churn out can really be considered good on my part.
i've got a lot to think about and do even before i can start taking classes again(next main step to going to pharmacy school i think), but hopefully i'll get a part-time job and volunteer at some hospital while studying for gre's in the meantime(and cross my fingers that some nearby college will let me do a post-bachelor's type thing in order to take the classes i didn't take). the part-time job might be good both for beefing up the resume, and getting some other guitar pedals i'd like, but don't have cash for(ls-2 boss pedal and ge-7 boss pedal would both be great).
i still can't believe registering for the general gres took 140 out of my checking account. yipes. (but then again, when you don't have a job, you start becoming stingy about any large purchase). but it was good to finally do it, b/c then i would've procrastinated my studying even further. now i kinda have forced myself to have to do it(even if i cancel, i only get 50% back, so it's only worthwhile to take it once and do well).
---
i've been sincerely meaning to ask, why is it that most of the friends i know of only seem to want to play and talk about basketball when there's free time? are they that single-minded? or maybe i'm just unique in that regard?

tony romo's newest girlfriend is jessica simpson(previous one was supposedly carrie underwood).
-i sense newlyweds 2 occurring.
lions just falling apart. although it mightve had something to do with roy williams.
jessica alba is pregnant apparently; you know you're from the bay area and keep up with hoops when the 1st response outta your mind hearing that is "way to go boom dizzle!"
my attitude with the spurs is... strange. they border on the list of teams that i like in the nba, but don't crack the list. there's both times that i really like them, admire them(i still really like tim duncan, and tony parker), admire their coach, their discipline, etc. but there's a number of things keeping me from fully embracing them, including how spurs fans magically turn a blind eye to bruce bowen's dirty play; look, i'm not trying to say he always plays dirty, or that he's a useless defensive player if he doesn't use his tricks(similar to my attitude with karl malone; malone w/o tricks = still good player; malone w/tricks = deluded HOF player). but he has a track record; like that jump kick against wally; how do you explain that one in the realm of just physical, hard defense? ginobili should not be flopping that much. i'm sure i could go on and on. but then, i see or read somebody comment on the internet about how boring the spurs are, etc, and all i want to do is deride them, asking what they consider winning basketball to be, and that if they had the exact same personal as the spurs on their team, they wouldn't be complaining; i don't buy the fact that certain teams need certain markets(although kobe in la and the vaunted 4 in detroit seems to sometimes support this). most nba franchises would KILL to have the spurs' lineup. it's similar to how people say all this about the patriots, but you know all that talk would've died if the exact same lineup was in the sf niners.

got an email today, and good thing i am able to return the mbox 2 mini and get a new one(they're even giving me the labels and stuff to ship at back too, making it free shipping). too bad they won't let me return it for a refund though. but they will get me a replacement, so a completely new mbox as opposed to a refurbished one, while still saving about 35 dollars sounds pretty good. i'll still have to buy all the other gear though; condenser mic, stand, cable, pop filter, etc. it's just that that other bundle offered on musician's friend sounded a lot nicer; i essentially would've been getting 2 monitors on top of the mbox and condenser mic and stand and cable, for just throwing in around 40 dollars more.
point is, i would've avoided this and gotten the bundle in the 1st place if 1)i just looked around a bit more instead of instinctively buying the mbox immediately and 2)looked carefully at the package after opening it instead of opening the factory sealed package, and then realizing the cd wasn't there. i basically need to learn how to evaluate stuff after buying it a lot better.

why is it that everytime i try to buy something expensive over the internet, something complicates the process and i have to consider returning it? such a hassle; first it was the dvd burner, now i just realized the mbox 2 mini i received came with no pro tools software. @#$%^%@!!@#@#!$#%^$^ that also means i have to call musician's friend tomorrow and tell them to cancel the other order i had. such a pain!
anyways, hoping to return it and get this instead.
lol... what is love?

no doubt - oi to the world
(i remember hearing this song a few years back during christmas time. had no idea it was no doubt that performed it. [they sounded too punk in the song for me to consider that no doubt did it])

i wonder who's more wooden; al gore, or hilary clinton.
speaking of which, remember when the simpsons poked fun at al gore in one of their episodes?
"mr. gore, somebody just bought one of your books!"
"this calls for a celebration"
(puts record on phonograph)
(melody)...ce-le-brate good times, c'mon!
"i will"

Golden state warriors play like guys out of NBA JAM.
I find this humorous, because I stand by one belief: “NBA JAM ruined my concept of how basketball was supposed to be played as I was growing up; Sega Sports’ NBA 2K for the Dreamcast retaught me how basketball was supposed to be played.” For most of my youth up til the end of high school, I didn’t get basketball. Because I played and still play and watch a lot of video games(consoles, cpus, arcade), NBA JAM gave me a really messed up idea of how basketball was supposed to be; yes I knew that you weren’t allowed to shove people, but I assumed defense didn’t really matter much(although I still justified Michael Jordan as being the best because he was great on defense; good arguments from a kid; go figure), and that to matter to a team, you had to be able to both shoot 3 pointers and dunk(and have good speed). Again, despite the fact that MJ was not known for creating his own 3 pt shot.
Enter senior year in high school when I only took 5 classes, was able to leave school at noon(I still have fond memories of senior year in high school because of how much freedom I had, despite not really doing anything) actually had time to watch games and etc, etc, etc(1st game i watched was knicks vs bucks; went to overtime; shooting match between sprewell and ray allen; good overall game, and really glad i watched; favorite eastern conference playoff game i watched, and still one of my faves was nets at celtics, when celtics pulled that come-from-behind victory, because in the 4th, they stopped shooting 3s and started just taking it to the hole). I was starting to understand and appreciate how this game was played.
Then of course there was the transition period during college, when I really began to appreciate team play, defense(without stuffing the stats), and rebounding. Oh yeah, also to appreciate how a person can contribute to a team despite not adding anything to the stats(Tayshaun Prince made me start to realize this more than anybody else).
So the end-all is that I come out of undergrad college, having actually gained knowledge of what makes a good basketball team and team play, can appreciate all sorts of basketball team styles, etc, etc, etc. And then the Warriors have to enter the playoffs, breaking their drought, oust the Mavs, become the most fun-oriented basketball team in the league, and do it all by playing... like characters in NBA JAM. Y’kno; once you cross the half-court line, just run to the 3-pt line and chuck it(and who cares about big man play; who cares about shot blocking and rebounding). in other words, if i were just rooting for the hometown team, the past 7-8 years i spent learning about the game went to waste. (sigh)
--
Hopefully I’ll get all the musical gear I ordered before this year ends and are able to start flexing my artistic musical creativity again. It has been a while; I think a wrote a lot of songs before, but forgot how they played, what they sounded like, etc. I only recorded one song, and sound-wise it was like crap(I passed the mp3 on to a couple of people, i think Bob was one of the few that got it). Well, shouldn’t be a problem this time around(I think). It won’t be like a studio, but I’m at least hoping there’s no weird stuff, like having to adjust for those popping noises when i sing too strongly, or the stupid humming sound that occurs when you record from a sound card. Writing a song = good(but everybody with a guitar does that). Writing + recording a song = better.
But yeah, if I had no restraint, I'd probably spend money like it grew on trees. There's tons of stuff I would like to get(not just musical stuff), but can't right now; I just have to limit it to these musical tools I would like to get, and then wait for a job or something else. Basically, I have this long list of things on my laptop at home that I would (key words)eventually like to own. I'm just hoping the stuff i would like to get is still on the market maybe 5-6 years down the road, when i actually earn a decent amount of money.

christian conspiracies can be pretty fun to look at. there's a ton of them. whether or not they are true(of course, only useful looking at them to see whether they are valid, have valid arguments, and hence can deduce whether the world has pulled another blindfold over our eyes). here's one to contemplate; christmas in its origins was not a christian holiday. i'm not saying that the birth of christ never existed. i'm saying that christmas started out as a pagan holiday, and somehow the day of christ's birth somehow got attached to it(which could explain the trees(trees were a sign of fertility i think?)). i don't have the e-book that i got this from in front of me at the moment, but it's something to think about. then there's the arguments some make that santa claus is really satan(not in the sense that santa is satan incarnate, but is sorta an antichrist in masquerading as christ), like how santa is an anagram for satan, the songs sung about him are really stealing praises from god(ie, the kjv has the Lord saying "Ho ho" in one of the prophets, that he comes from the north, etc), etc. well, not like you should believe everything the popular media tells you anyways.

man, i wanted warriors to win, but i am just so amazed at dwight howard this nba season, that i don't feel as bad about it. rediculous. 20+ boards, 7 blocks? dude seems to abuse small ball lineups for breakfast. i'm just surprised he didn't do it to the lakers.
(you wouldn't happen to know any good orlando magic fansites, do you? i've peeped frequently "golden state of mind" for the warriors, "need for sheed" for the pistons, but i should really link on a magic site; dwight's not going anywhere soon.)
---
patriots still unbeaten. abeit, very closely.
i actually really wished the redskins could've won on sunday. would've done their deceased player a lot of honor.
---
am always fascinated by the voice actors in anime/cartoons, for the sole reason that they tend to never sound like themselves in real life. that's not so much the case in non-animated movies etc.

dwight howard seems to always play well against the supersonics. i still have the nba.com video from last season of him going 8 for 8 against the sonics.
y'kno that old adidas commercial on a street hoop where kg keeps getting to the rim and dunking on scrubs and nobodies no matter how many people they send at him, until duncan comes out to defend him? that's kinda like yesterday, except it was dwight howard instead of kg. and no tim duncan came out. beastage.
---
warriors still showing they rock harder than their norcal rivals; love it.
---
i don't expect much tomorrow. maybe a baker's dozen donuts, a new watch, and hopefully out-bidding other ppl on ebay to get a new mbox 2 mini for way less than it originally cost when new. would be nice if the capcom arcade hits package i ordered for the pc came in tomorrow, but that's pushing it. maybe a strong sense of direction would be nice.

this is what i don't like about modern-day society sometimes; they expect you to know exactly what you're going to do by the time you get out of high school.

wow... american football in japan

i didn't know the nintendo wii had a joystick for it, let alone the hori, japanese type. and for what, just for 1 fighting game right now, guilty gear? pro smash players don't even use the joystick; they'd rather use a pad with analog stick and pressure-sensitive triggers.

but my nephew mikey was really cool to hang around with(i think i'll need another year before i can get how to hang around ally). and is it just me, or do michelle and phil give more leeway towards punishing ally than they do mikey? anyways, at first i felt really awkward around them, not knowing how to act, what to say, but by sunday when they were about to leave, i pretty much got a gist of what i was supposed to do or say. i'm fairly sure mikey likes me based on the fact that i'm not trying to act cute with him(as adults tend to do around kids). y'kno, the "fuzzy-wuzzy" type talk, especially when women do it... ugh. maybe it's cause i hated it when i was a kid(are you insulting my intelligence? please don't talk to me that way), so i don't want to do the same to others. i just tried to talk simple and slower with mikey, and for the most part, he got it. not really saying i miss them quite yet, but it was fun. oh yeah; mikey's a lefty too. i regret not taking pictures or video with my digital camera, but then again, if i kept snapping them, they probably wouldn't have liked it.

niners weren't supposed to win on sunday. i still believe that. that being said, i was impressed with the big defensive plays the niners made in the 2nd quarter. michael lewis impressed me.

hmm, haven't updated much recently. a lot the stuff is big news.
-getting a job was REALLY, REALLY, nice. on part because it was so long looking for a job, and i didn't even need to go into an interview to get this one. the experience will definitely help out in future job searches. but the excitement kinda ground out really quickly. work is really tiring, and i feel like i'm operating 3 steps slower than everybody else, that i can't learn quickly enough. i bet i've worked more overtime than anybody else at church. schedule:
mon-fri: 7:00 am - 5:30/6:30 pm (have to get at 6:00 am, have to go to sleep by 11:00 pm)
sat: 6:00 am - 2:30 pm (yes that's right, i have to get up even earlier on saturday)
-i sound materialistic, but it really is true that one of the things that's keeping me going at work(most of work my mind's on autopilot until i run into a problem, then i fret) is thinking of what i'm going to do with the money i get. a digitech jamman pedal would be GREAT; loops galore. and then i would love to get something like a mbox 2 from digidesign or audio buddy from m-audio so i can start writing and recording songs again on my cpu. it's not like i'm gonna splurge and buy everything immediately after getting my paycheck and basically burn all the money at once, but i think you get the idea; it's like i'm already formulating when i'm gonna get what. oh yeah; not too quite keen on getting an electronic drumset yet; i'm gonna wait a few and let the money build up for that one; get back to me on that one in about a year. but those two; a good sound card to record, and the looper pedal are huge. after that, i think i'll sit back and let the money accumulate before i think of what else i should get. (some more efx pedals would be good, or an arcade joystick)
-i got the alterbridge: blackbird cd. i've been listening to the album nonstop. it's that good, and that much better than their 1st cd. the 1st cd, myles kennedy was kinda just brought on board at the last moment, and so he wasn't allowed to put his stamp on the music; it was just mark tremonti's songwriting and everybody backing him up. but this 2nd cd. wow. it's real good. i love 70%+ of the songs. what's even better is that you can get it for 9.99 at best buy, even though it's a new cd.
-last note, but really kewl; phil's gonna be tearing it up at turkey bowl this year. that's right, you read right; he'll be back on wednesday. i get to finally see michael and allison.
