Well this weekend was rather uneventful. I did get my new computer setup. The only real thing I lost were digital pictures for this year. I had backups of all of my old pictures. It still sucks cause I had lots of pictures of my family from Grandma's funeral to Grandpa's funeral. Anyway, I got this thing called a game-drive that copies all of my game CDs to the hard drive so that when I want to run a game all I do is click on it instead of having to hunt for CDs. I spent Friday night putting Windows Xp and Office XP on my PC and then all day Saturday putting games on my PC. This has got to be the fastest computer I have ever seen. It is cool having 2 processors cause when one is crunching away on hard the drive I can run other apps like internet explorer and windows media player and will experience no slowdown. The graphics are unbelievable, specifically Battlefield 2 and Doom 3. I could see cracks in the sidewalk as helicopters targeted me in and shot me. Top that with the FIOS internet connection and you've got a super-server. I was downloading windows updates at 1.5 meg a second. On Saturday I also got a haircut. The remnants of my band was supposed jam but that never materialized. On Sunday I slept in for church but went to Sunday School, Olive Garden, fed the homeless and went grocery shopping. I didn't get home until 7pm on Sunday. My Sunday school class is pretty cool. About every 6 months a couple from the class gets married. This upcoming Saturday I will be playing guitar in their wedding shower. Feeding the homeless was hectic. Apparently there are hurricane victims down here. We gave out about 400 sandwiches. One of them was telling us all to make sure our homes are hurricane proof. One guy told me about how everything was stolen from him and he lost it all. One guy was talking to me about how he got autographs from Richard Petty and all of the Nascar guys. Other people will talk about how they only need money for a train ticket. One other guy who rode a bike was talking about how he will be nationally known for setting up a homeless center. They all have different stories to tell, even if they aren't true it is interesting to listen to. Then there will be the street preachers that raise the Bible high and wail about being saved - I have nothing against that but I think people will listen more if you feed them (Jesus gave people food as he was preaching). Then there will be other groups that show up to feed, like the Franklin Covey cult from a couple of months ago. There will be other church groups that feed as well. Then there will just be the people off their rocker who continuously laugh at nothing or sleep on the sidewalk all day and night. Then there will be the stoned/drunks who slur their voice and can barely stand in line. Then there are the prostitutes that want food as well who talk about trying to find their baby's daddy. One guy started talking about how it was his first day out of the penitentiary and he was looking for work. Then there are the black Muslims that walk around in suits and ties. It doesn't appear that they actually are doing anything but hanging out. Then there are the troublemakers who try to start fights with anyone. The cops do hang out near them just in case. Who needs reality TV? I've got the homeless shelter.

Thought of the Day
"The train was so crowded, I had to sit in a seat facing the wrong way."
"Oh, I like that. It's like going back in time."
