Bachelor biking trip
Guest post written by Nick Roten
When I heard that my best friend was proposing to his longtime girlfriend, I knew that I would be planning a bachelor party or a weekend pretty soon. But he really surprised me when he told me that he didn’t want to go to Vegas or somewhere like that. Instead he hinted that he might want to go mountain biking, so I planned a weekend trip for us and about 10 of our friends.
Now, not all of them are avid mountain bikers like me and him so I planned something that would be a little more low key. When I was online booking the hotel and stuff for the trip, I was having trouble with my internet connection which was nothing new. So I decided to research another internet company and found out that I was in a clear wireless internet ispot, so I think I’m going to switch my service over to it.
I finally got all the stuff in order for the bike trip and we’re going on it next weekend. I think that it’s going to be really great and IÕm happy for my friend because heÕs getting married to a great girl.
Some errands
I was a bit frustrated when I went to school, the teacher did not show up. The technician in our laboratory room told us that our teacher is not available today due to some reasons. In other words, there was no class. I wanted to use the computer in the laboratory for the homework but we got kicked out of the room. There was a sign in sheet at the door so we put our names in there. After that, I decided to do some errands so I don’t have to do it tomorrow. I went to Trader Joe’s to get some food. I spend about 40 bucks there. Then I went to Henry’s to get some vegetables and cereal and I ended up paying 11 bucks something. On the way home, I thought of going to Costco to get lactose-free milk. Then, I went to one of the computer stores here in our place to get a DVI to VGA connector, which cost me five bucks. I just hope I got the correct connector so I could connect my computer monitor to my tiny netbook.
A Count Chocula Costume For The Ages
Contribution by Stevie Kirby
When trick or treating, it’s important to me to pick a costume that represents something I love. There’s nothing I love more than Count Chocula, at least in the realm of breakfast cereals. The monster trio of cereals has long been one of my favorite Halloween treats, so I often go trick or treating as the one and only Count Chocula himself. This costume required me to get creative and make it myself, using fabric from stores, but it was worth it in the end. I like the idea of getting the most creative costume I can think of.
After a hard night of searching the streets for chocolate, this vampire likes to go back home and watch satellite TV from bestchoicetv.com for the rest of the evening. There are so many great horror movies on around Halloween and that’s what I most love to watch in order to ring in the special season.
Everything I do on Halloween feels like it’s right, even if things don’t go as smoothly as planned or my costume doesn’t turn out as cool as I wanted it to. For me there’s still something magical about trick or treating and I plan to head out there with my kids for as long as they’ll let me, and after that I’ll find some other excuse to roam the streets in search of candy.
Internet Chat rooms
Internet chat rooms are very popular nowadays. I was amazed the first I joined the chat room and that was aol. I talked online to exchange messages and at that time there was no cam yet. I was using nicknames. It was really fun. People call instant message (IM) or simply chat. Don’t you know that there is a difference between IM and chat? IM refers to a conversation between two people, while chat is talking with a group. So, if you are into chatting or joining chat rooms like yahoo messenger and other. Here are some valuable things that you should:
· Never give out your personal information in a chat room like full name, SSN, full address, parents’ names, etc.
· Don’t agree right away to meet a stranger in person whom you met in a chat room. Get to know the person well first.
· When you’re asked to enter or sign up for a chat nickname
· Be cautious of chatters who ask you to meet in private chat rooms.
· You should read the terms and conditions, code of conduct, and privacy statement at the chat site before joining.
Bright sunny day!
It is a bright sunny day today. I am glad about it though the wind is kind of chilly and cool. I still like it. I like it when the sun is out. I feel depressed when the sky is gloomy. Don’t feel sad or depressed when the sky is gloomy and overcast? I tend to experience seasonal depression during fall and winter season, or shall we call it, “winter blues”. Actually, this condition is called, SAD. SAD means Seasonal Affective Disorder. Symptoms of SAD are fatigue, mood swings, desire to sleep more and depression. Whenever I get depressed during winter, I just try to go out and take a walk. What do you do when you experience SAD?
