Okay, so North Carolina passed an amendment to ban Gay Marriage? …So what?

Do you wan’t to live in a place that frowns upon (collectively) against your life choices? No. Move away and find a place that embraces your lifestyle in all aspects, trust me it’s quite easy. I understand that sounds harsh but the truth is no matter what a law allows it’s not exactly “romantic” to be married by someone who doesn’t respect the ceremony being performed in the first place. Marriage should be a beautiful experience all around, no bitterness needed regardless of sexual orientation. 

I personally respect peoples life choices, may i agree with them? I’m personally not entirely sure for i don’t live by said choices. It’s quite hard to fully agree with things that we don’t fully emotionally understand. 

Am i ashamed to admit that i don’t fully understand the feeling of love between two people of the same gender? Why should i be? It’s perfectly normal to not understand because i’m a heterosexual. Do i know what love is? yes. Do you think others should experience love, regardless of sexual orientation? Yes..but Why does it matter what i think? It’s not my life. 

That’s the situation with today society.. no one can admit they don’t understand. It’s perfectly normal to not understand, but it’s not normal to force others to frown upon anything just because you decided to disagree with it. 

We all have our personal ways of living, let it be because of religious or just the way we we’re brought up. Personal beliefs will never go away, we can however learn to tolerate and respect the life choices of others regardless of it be.

Doesn’t matter what you personally think about someone’s life choice positive or negative, it’s no one’s business. Let’s keep it that way.

We can’t collectively change what another collective group believes, but as individuals we can learn to mind our own business. And live life the way we believe is right in our heart while allowing others the privilege to do the same.

You can voice the fact you disagree with something, you can go as far as point and frown upon something you don’t like. But you can’t force someone to live they’re life the way you chose, no matter how much you believe they should in your heart. If someone seeks your wisdom share it, embrace it. If someone just wants to live life the way they believe in they’re heart they should, voice concern and offer your wisdom. If they decide to respectfully decline to change the way they live they’re life, tolerate it. If you can’t tolerate it? Go away. 

At the end of the day, Our butt’s push out the same colored poop. (Unless you have some serious poop malfunction..for that i am sorry.)

It’s really bizarre when i think about what new years has really become, for most of us. I understand we all want to reset our life-style for the new year, heck! why not? but here’s my dilemma. Should we wait till the end of the year? Why not start as soon as you realize something is wrong. Maybe nothing is really wrong and the atmosphere of new years is just completely misunderstood. Placing people on a state of mind where they feel incomplete, wanting something better. 

We should always look forward to tomorrow, trying to get better as we see it come through, regardless of the day on your calendar. 

2011, Yikes!

I can’t complain about this year, of course it wasn’t the best. Saying that is kinda moronic, life without some bumps on the road is no life at all. I saw many “changes” in my life take place, mostly good ones! (mind=blown). I finally turned 21, had a job that many strive to get (hated it!). Finally being able to see a clear picture of what i wan’t to do with my life, definitely not in Buffalo. Saw my family grow at a ridiculous rate, partying every step of the way. Topping it all off, blessed with a absolutely wonderful person who can actually put up with my crazy shenanigans. She even let’s me call her my girlfriend, don’t even have to pay her!, crazy! i know. 

So here’s to you 2011, You good ol’ bi-polar coot!

Yes, Today i have undergone a bad interview.

It’s kinda upsetting that the interview didn’t go the way i planned, sure i am young and will probably go through many bad interviews in this lifetime. Sadly there’s a few reasons why this particular event doesn’t settle with me so well.

This rant, by no means has any intention against anyone nor anything. Though it may seem that way trust me this is not the case. First to start things off, i am not a heart-full fan of the linux operating system. The flavor i am currently running is Fedora 10, my personal favorite linux flavor. I grew up around windows based operating systems and played allot on my first Apple II, with all this said i have no real desire to stick with one operating system. All operating systems have their own unique features that draw people into the OS. Though i find myself using my linux OS the most. why? Because it fits more into the things i do on a daily basis.

Now, why am i talking about this? well i was applying for a IT firm here in my local town.. a very respectful one at that! Over 30 years of excellent service. After waiting a hour to finally meet my interviewer i met the operations manager, a very high stature man with slim fingers clearly a programmer. I felt right at home instantly, we talked about software and design for the first portion of the interview. Then things just went down-hill fast, he asked me what operating system i saw the most used in commercial environments. Without hesitation i happily responded the linux operating system..big mistake! It was like he suddenly made a enemy out of me. He didn’t take much to shoot down my response with his own ideology, Stating i was wrong and if i ever plan on making a profit the answer should always be windows.

I suddenly, noticed what kind of man he was. He was a wise intelligent man, with a passion for technology—sadly, time blind-sided him. His response, made me feel as if i was watching a ‘windows windows windows!’ 1991 press conference. It was absolutely mind blowing how closed minded this man was, sadly i felt nothing but the desire to end this interview.  

He told me that anyone with no real desire to make a profit will develop for linux, and those who use linux only use ‘Apache’ for their servers also adding the reason it was ‘FREE’. I was slowly caving in the inside, the way he pushed his ideals and thoughts of the technology commerce was just a bit too much for me. That’s how things were in the late 80’s can you really blame the guy?

The best part of this all, was when we got into talking about mobile-technology…

He was clearly a really big Apple fan, and was quick to pull out his very attractive iPhone 4. Stating the only good phone operating system was iOS, and that developing for android was just get this…”a gimmick”. At that point i have lost all clear desire to even want this job, i started responding very open  & lose answers.. not taking effort in thinking through the answers i would give him.

I quickly ended the conversation, and told him i apologize and have lost all intention of wanting this position. I shook his hand and kindly told him, “and sir you are out of the loop”. He gave me a blind stare as if, i had told him something in a different language. It felt good, but sadly it didn’t settle so great on my end.

I felt no real personal disrespect from him towards me, though being told your wrong and given no real chance to explain your answers is probably the biggest form of disrespect anyone could make. Especially over the field your very passionate about. Sadly, i could have taken  a completely different approach to his way of thinking. But i kept in mind that man was gonna be my manager, you can’t be lead by someone you can’t see eye to eye with.

I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons!

This made me smile so much!, made my geek heart all warm and fuzzy. It’s really amazing how you can see technological advancements just by looking at a GIF’s file size.

When you see it..

After sacrificing over 80% of my life—in the last few days trying to finish this wonderful game titled “Deus EX: Human Revolution”, i learned allot about myself. Funny how video games that rely on the players retrospective on life affect the story. Pretty fun stuff—but that’s not the case of this post.

Early in the game there is a mission, where you need to infiltrate a police station. Now how you will accomplish this? that’s completely up to you. The best tactic to get this done is of course, being stealthy. With that said…i’m pretty impatient, so i decided to murder every single person in the station and stuff them in the vents and when i got attacked i would run inside back in the vents..after 20 bodies in the vents i decided to just give up. Since there was literally not a enemy alive in the building.

With that said, i feel like a scary vent monster. Feels bad man.. 

A gibibyte is a unit of data storage that equals 2 to the 30th power, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.

While a gigabyte can be estimated as 10^9 or 1,000,000,000 bytes, a gibibyte is defined as exactly 1,073,741,824 bytes. This helps avoid the ambiguity associated with the size of gigabytes. A gibibyte is 1,024 mebibytes and precedes the tebibyte unit of measurement.
