Sure, it's a bit morbid. But you know what? It's still hilarious. This pretty much establishes my sense of humor here. All I'm missing is the Swiss Army lightsaber.

Since the world isn't perfect, I have decided to share with you who I am, in picture form. More to come once I drag my giant old external hard drive out of the box covered in shirts. I think this is a fairly good 
representation of what I'm all about. Oh wait, there is one more...
Yeah, that's my girl Nastia. There's nothing like having a gold
medalist for a girlfriend. She's good to me.
Other things you can learn from this post:
I have yet to teach myself how to format posts properly.
I dream about beautiful people
I spend way too much time on the internet
So we can learn to pick ourselves up

If you ever want to stop being friends with me, lie directly to my face, and then go against what you told me within seven days. It does a bang-up job of getting me to not like you or want to speak to you in the least.
On a lighter side, I tried wakeboarding for the first time Saturday. I think it would be something I would really enjoy, if I could, you know, get up. I shouldn't be so pessimistic. I got up once. For thirty seconds. And it was great until I realized the water was getting closer to my face, and it wasn't a wake coming toward me. Sinuses are not made to hold water.
As I was telling my mom and sister about it, my mom said that when you fall on water, there go your ribs. I asked her how many times she had lost her ribs when she fell on the water. I think it reminded her of how much it hurt, because she held her ribs for a long time after that. I think she was crying.

Why do we fall down, Bruce?

Life has a way of triggering complete emotional breakdowns in me. Sometimes they even occur in front of girls I'm interested in, like this last one did. Here's basically how it went down:
"Hi, I'm Steve." Random charming comment or two. "I'd like to take you out some time." Best first date ever goes here. "You are pretty much the coolest girl ever. We need to go out again soon." Wonderful second date goes here. Cue emotional breakdown. "I'm basically crazy, and am scared to death of being alone forever. All my close friends are married, and I would love for nothing more than to be married also. Because of that, I try to start relationships way too quickly."
The middle details of this consist of her not really wanting a relationship right now, which I suspected from the start, but didn't want to be the case. But such is life. After my meltdown, I never expect people to react in a positive light. I mean, let's take this case. I knew this girl for a week before she found out I was crazy. How in the world would you react if this happened to you? Well she didn't run away warning everyone she knew to steer clear of me. Here's how that went down:
"You aren't crazy, you are just insecure. Why do you feel this way? Boy, it sure is unhealthy that you don't talk to you friends very often about this. What makes you think that? It really is ok that you are almost 24 and not married. I'm sorry that I caused all this." Objections on my part to it not being her fault. More chit chat about the whole thing, still. Embarrassing moment of dozing off an snoring in front of her.
I think this is the first time I have had this happen with someone I didn't know very well. All other times it has occurred with a good friend or someone I have been dating for a while. I was shocked to know that she still wanted to get to know me more. I mean, what kind of person does that? Good people do that. People who don't think you are crazy, despite evidence to the contrary. People who are willing to stick it out regardless of knowing there will be more hard times to come. Friends.

Advice

Everybody knows that computers stink. Yours may not be giving you trouble at the moment. You might lovingly spray it with concentrated air to keep it clean and caress it's screen with cleaning wipes to save it's beautiful artificial glow. But here's the straight dope, jack: It will eventually fail you. No matter how much antivirus and malware protection you have on that sucker, it's eventually going to die, and it will piss you off when it does. So back up your computer, and back it up often. Yeah, it might seem like a waste of money to go buy an external hard drive just to back up your perfectly running computer. But it will be worth it. You will be happy. And while you are at it, switch to Firefox and use a bookmark add on so you don't lose all your bookmarks, too. Personal experience, so take it and use it.

If you don't use Firefox yet, there has never been a better time to adopt! Here is where you can get it. Download it. Install it. Love it. Go to Tools and access the add ons. Love it even more. I'll let the website itself speak for how amazing the browser is. Some add ons you might like:
Adblocker Plus-You know all those annoying banner ads that flash and have stupid games where you can supposedly win a bunch of money from? With this, you won't see another one. Simply amazing.
Download Status Toolbar- instead of a separate window coming up, this little program causes a small toolbar to appear at the bottom of the browser to let you easily manage all your recent downloads.
PicLens- An amazing addon that lets you view a large number of pictures from a websites like google, flickr, amazon, yahoo, facebook and more.
Foxytunes- For the music-centric web surfer. Lets you control your music player straight from your browser. Supports Winamp, Windows Media Player and, of course, iTunes among many others.
Forecastfox- Simple weather tool to check weather. Allows setup of multiple profiles to quickly switch to or simply check weather in other areas than your own.
Stumbleupon- Select which topics you are interested in and start stumbling. Each time you stumble, a new website related to the topics you chose will come up for you to discover. Addicting.
Scribefire- Excellent tool which allows you to blog anytime, regardless if you are on your blog page or not. You can write a little bit, minimize scribefire, then go back to it later and finish it up.
Other- You can download custom skins, or programs that change the look of Firefox, to make your browser even more personalized.
But seriously. You will lose nothing by switching to Firefox. It's simply incredible.
