Profit Slips at Sony on Losses for PlayStation 3 - New York Times
All I can say - is MUHAHHAHA. That is what you get for trying to charge so much freaking money for a crappy gaming system when the Wii is far more superior.
Cheers!

Gramma's a Blogger!
So, While I was home in Wilmington this past weekend, my mother delivered to me a copy of my Great Grandmother's near 150 page autobiography. Amazing.
My grandmother isn't anyone super special to the public, she isn't famous, she isn't political, she' is my Great Grandmother. She is however pretty special to my family.
Think, how much do you know about the lives of your parents, grand parents, great grand parents? Do you know anything? I know very little, much of the things I do know are the little positive smiling anecdotes told around the table on Thanksgiving. However, I'm not aware of the struggles, growth, and change in their lives.
My Great Grandmother took the time to write out a collection of thoughts that describe her life and her experience. It is very much a collection of thoughts that were picked here and there, collected in non-flowing (but somewhat sequential) paragraphs, with varying amounts of detail. Still, it is amazing. My Great Grandmother touches on the happy moments, sad, horrifying, and struggles. She was a teacher and described, in great detail all of her favorite students, her battles with people, and her love for God. In the end she even provides a family tree dating back to my GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandparents.
I feel that people are loosing their connection with their family history. Where do you come from, what are you made of? These are questions many can not answer. We are so about the individual, we forget how much our family and society really shapes us!
My great grandmother created her version of a blog. A semi-sequential collection of thoughts and experiences. I hope that my blog captures my life's trials and successes as beautifully as her creation collected hers.
Well Done.

Loose Ends
I'll be graduating from college in May of this year. I'm a little frightened. Granted, I have great plans, exciting plans, plans of relaxation, excitement, peace, serenity, and TIME, glorious beautiful personal TIME!!!
However, I'm still a little shaken up about the whole thing. I keep telling myself that it should be fine, no big deal. To be honest, I'm quite ready for it. I'm beginning to feel like I felt my Senior Year in high School - I'm just fricken through with all the BS (something the world is full of). I'm ready for a change, I'm itching for change.
With that there have been some other changes. My group of friends is begnning to morph. I'm trying to bring some new people into it- shake it up a little. (my newest, and currently favorite is AJR... a hilliarious and exciting individual). Also - I'm contemplating a move into a new location to acquire some new space (current room mate, if you are reading this - we will talk about this on Monday Night). Also, I've ended a more than three year relationship with AHS. While the relationship was rewarding and defining of more than three years, I feel confident it was the best decision to make. In the end, we were different people, with different expectations of a very different future. I think we were simply lying to each other of a continued hope in the relationship. Therfore, BAM it is gone.
So, ENDING, CHANGING, TWISTING, my life is full of tribulation right now. GOSH I LOVE IT.
I just feel like things need to be mixed up, changed around. The past four years I've tried so hard to "fit the mold" to "please others" etc. Now I'm ready for change, I'm ready to be more of myself, more of an individual.
I've always spoken theoretically - I didn't care of other's thoughts about me, peoples antics, and individuals' Bull SHit. Now, I really don't care, I don't want to care, I'm too old to care, and I just don't freaking simply any more give any amount of fricking CARE!!! SO GO AWAY, be gone, don't cry to me, don't whine, get over it, move it, and say freaking good bye. I don't care about how you feel about me if I am too mean, to nice, to full of myself, to cocky, whatever.
I'm confident, so what. This is a full package baby - and you get what you get.
(While there is much to say about all of the fabulous things about me, I won't sit here and relish in them, I'll let others share with you about them... ) :-P
Never the less, thanks for baring through that, I just needed to type/scream.
The point is, I'm too tired of fitting in a box and fulfilling expectations. It is time for me to set the goals and to fulfill my own expectations. Everyone else can get over it, you no longer have a vote or say in my life. That is - it is MY LIFE.
So they are now my expecations - something I will soon share.
Expect Nothing!

I'm Back! For Now.
SO. It has been quite a long amount of time since my last blog. I've learned that something like blogging is an interesting addiction. It haunts you for a short amount of time, you feel committed and the need to blog every day. Then, it just WHOOFS, and leaves you. That is, something usually quickly takes its place. A blog is something you have to make TIME for - something that most do not have a lot of, especially me.
Therefore, let us not pretend. I'm going to blog today, and possibly tomorrow. (I agree -- blogging does help me synthesize some of my thoughts, and I always enjoy people's comments) After that however (tomorrow that is) I may not blog for another six months. So what I'm trying to say, is don't hold me to this. I don't want you people to start posting crap like ("You stopped posting!!!) and crap like that. If I want to, I will, if you don't like it, who cares!
I think this describes the depressive mode I'm in. SO - with that, to the first blog of this season (good thought, treat my return to blogging as the newest Season of Kodemistro Talk, when we go out of season, you'll have have to deal with Re-Runs!)
RE RUNS.
