Confession. My memory is shot. I can retain all information from work (server configurations, original dimensions of images, multiple passwords, names and faces on the first try) ... anything like personal events or conversations, I need help. : (

I hate doing psycho analysis, but I think this is why I like autograph signings. I get something back (jersey, ball, picture, anything) to help with my memory.
Well I meant that I didn't expect you to remember. :wavey:
I just ordered the SX...

2009jerseys.biz ... the checkout system is shady as f*ck. If you do order using a CC, call your card company to pre-authorize the transaction.

I've ordered 3 times from there and never had anything happen (fraud charges, etc) though.

Spiritual -
I went through 13 years of catholic schooling (K - 12). That included weekly mass and all possible sacraments. I haven't been to church in 10 years though. I'm not sure what to think of this one. Is there a higher power? Sure, why not believe?

I have friends who dedicated their lives to serving god (youth pastors, pastors, etc) and I just ... can't do it like them. Is it a regret? No. I just don't see what they're seeing.

I try to be the best person I can be, daily. I give to those in need. I don't do anything malicious or hateful. I put the thought and consideration of others before any of my needs. I just don't go to church on Sundays. I don't blame god if something goes wrong. I don't ask god for any of my needs. I just pray and give to others.

[/rambling]

Physical -
You're dealt cards and you gotta deal with them. Everyone has short comings but there's no point in fighting genetics. This doesn't mean eat red meat, cakes, and chips all day either. Your body needs to be maintained. Be grateful for health.

I recently lost my god-father to aggressive cancer. One of my friends was just diagnosed with brain tumors. I just don't take health for granted. [/rambling]

If I had to change something, being hairless from the nose down would be sweet.


Emotional -
This one I identified a few years ago. I gave too much effort into "friendships". I was trying too hard to make connections / care about people that just didn't deserve it. True friendships are the ones that come naturally, don't need much maintenance, and reciprocate.

Years ago, I'd try to give to everyone equally and I ended up short changing the good folks / giving too much to the bad ones. I just didn't have a proper filter on the people I should surround myself with.

Now, I have few friends ... I'm nice to everyone ... but just don't give the same level of effort across the board. By doing so, the friends I do have ... we've developed deeper relationships. I'm able to go further because I'm not burning time / effort on people who don't deserve it. This is what happens when you develop trust and aren't afraid of exposing thoughts, habits, and passions to others. It just doesn't matter if you come off as OCD, a nerd, or weird ... because that person on the receiving end of the message just doesn't care or form judgement. They understand you and the parts / pieces that make up the whole being.

Would I change anything else? I'm sure I need work ... but I tend not to over think and just assess problems when things just don't seem right.

My dad had me when he was 42. I have a feeling I'm going to end up the same way.

Oh crap, lol.

Ummm.
- Music have proper "counts", pending how you count, you're looking at 32 beats before the next major element change. Practice counting.

- Grab the beat at the start of the count. Release when the track you're listening to hits its proper count. This way, when the tracks start developing, they do it at the same time.

- Stay away from the Sync button. See if you can figure out which song needs adjusting (+/-) tempo. (Sometimes the digital BPM readout fails, so this is good practce)

- Tracks are fairly user friendly now a days. Electro house sticks at 128bpm. Progressive house is 128 / 129. Dubstep is 140. You should be up and mixing in no-time.

Oh man, where to start.

Shit that's cool, but we'll never get as consumers - Driverless cars. I believe Lexus and Google are toying around with this.

Shit that's cool and we'll get soon - Xbox (3) and Playstation (4)

Shit that's overhyped and will lead to a cluster fuck - Android gaming. For some reason, companies think it'll be awesome to utilize an Android OS for home gaming platforms ... this is just stupid. Ouya started it, now there's clones popping up. I think Nvidia is getting into the action as well. (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/...aming-handheld)

My in-laws want me to set them up with an HTPC so they can ditch cable. Should I? I'm considering a roku or something like it, but they don't want netflix or hulu, they want "other means", which means a media server. I'm thinking self downloading HTPC, but I'd probably have to fix it all the time. Worth it?

If your in-laws can provide their own means of tech support, then HTPC is an option. If they suck at computers, this will turn into a nightmare for you.

Also, it really depends on their viewing habits. I can survive cable-free because I have means of acquiring viewing content (legal streams, illegal streams, antennas, etc). I'm not sure others will put in the time / effort into doing this ... especially when a resource goes down (torrent site, stream, etc).

I still have cable, but it's very basic w. limited HD channels (it's really cheap with my business class internet service, $10 per mo)
