random things about me
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. I shouldn't even be doing this right now. It is 1:17am and I should be starting my homework.
2. I sometimes wonder if I'm more of a geek or a jock. I don't really think I'm either, but I love computers and electronics. I wear thick glasses, and I make geeky jokes. I also play about any sport you can shake a stick at, and I'm very competitive in them all.
3. I made two (or actually more) websites for myself when I was younger (7th grade-so. in high school) but haven't got around to making a current one, even though I'm always planning to. I guess I can thank facebook and myspace for the delay.
4. I'm planning on creating a series of shows for the youtube. All in the colormation effect that I've been messing with. The name is picked out in my head by not confirmed yet. Some friends are planning to help a lot. It will be funny. It will also take the world by storm.
5. Sometimes I think I'm funnier than people appreciate.
6. Sometimes I think that maybe I'm a little full of myself.
7. Sometimes I think I don't think enough of myself.
8. Sometimes my sense of humor includes my own inside jokes. I make good jokes that only I get.
9. I also continuously make fun of some things by doing them so much that people think I'm not making fun of something. Like how people answer the phone, "yyeeellloo"
10. For most my life I've always been a really nice person, but I also have the ability to be a really big butt hole.
11. I enjoy food a ton.
12. I'm on a diet right now. 35 pounds by the end of the school year (gain). So far I've gained 6.
13. My girlfriend is great, and knows I'm crazy, but hasn't ran away or institutionalized me.
14. I really like the show, LOST, and I've followed it the whole time. It is really exciting.
15. I would consider myself open minded when it comes to music, but I've also found what I like and I'm not going to waste my time listening to a bunch of country and rap to find music to listen to.
16. btw, I like ska music and punk music mostly. I also branch off in other directions.
17. I don't think I can ever make up my mind when it comes to sports:
Middle School: Baseball, Basketball, Track
Fresh HS: Track, Cross Country
So. HS: Baseball, Cross Country
Jr. Hs: Baseball, Golf
Sr. Hs: Baseball, Golf
Fresh College: Golf
So. College: Golf
Jr. College: (who knows!? haha)
18. I wish I could always find people who can compete with me in: basketball, ping pong, tennis, golf, racquetball, and other sports, but its hard to find.
19. I have a Nintendo Entertainment System in my room.
20. I built my computer (sorta... with help!) and it is NICE. It can play Crysis on full settings! Nice step up from ps2.
21. I truly believe my pc has better graphics than ps3 and xbox 360.
22. I sometimes let my inner geek come out too much.
23. I enjoy embarrassing Alecia in many ways. Usually noises I make and things I do.
24. I'm starting to really think of some good ones, but I'm running out of spaces to put them. Now that I think about it, saying this is very counterproductive.
25. I wish I had an energy drink right now, since its time to start my homework. Its been a long time since I've had an energy drink though.
I'd also like to mention that I'm blind in my left eye.

Golf Team Raffle (HELP!)
Hello, this may be my first blog that actually serves a purpose (other than just to write and entertain, etc).
The golf team is underfunded this year so we need to produce more money for traveling to Hilton Head.
We are doing raffle tickets. The prize is a $100 Wal-Mart gift card. The tickets are $1 each, $5 for 6, or $10 for 13. If you'd like to get more we can work something out.
So, I am asking through this blog if anyone will help. Any help would be appreciated very much. You could also win $100. The odds aren't too bad.
Just get in touch with me somehow (in person, facebook, email [trentfred at gmail.com], phone [6185427088], yelling, myspace, youtube, snailmail, etc). I can take cash, checks (payable to Blackburn Golf Club), Paypal, and probably anything else you can think of that would work.
Thank you

Facebook, videos, and copyrights
Today I get on my facebook account and I had a notice that told me that they deleted my "colormation" because of copyright infringement. It said that if I try to reupload, I could be kicked from facebook. Nice. Especially nice since the video was not copyright infringement in any way. Here's the "infringing" video of me trying out an effect and talking to the camera, or my brother or something:
It is bologna that they did this. I have no idea how this is infringement. Some people say we shouldn't complain because we aren't paying for facebook (or youtube). well I say a few things: If we aren't paying for it how are they getting rich? donations? NO. advertisement. If we weren't paying and there were no ads, then maybe I shouldn't complain, but I am paying through the ads.
I'm mad about this, but the thing that is really annoying is how much farther this can get. Next thing you know it, more things on the internet will be uber-regulated. That kinda kills a huge advantage of the internet, especially with sites like youtube and facebook.
I would maybe understand taking the video down if I was trying to make money off of it, and I actually had some sort of infringement. I would also expect some complaint from whoever I was infringing. I've seen people's videos being taken down because they had some independent band that they were trying to promote's song in the video. That makes a whole lot of sense to take that down.
Anyways, I'll cut this rant short before I bore you.

uh oh, old habit
uh oh... I hope this isn't the beginning of a resurgence of an old habit. Maybe its just a one day thing. Its 1 and I've procrastinated too much. Writing this blog in itself is very counterproductive.
I can sleep some other time. right?

We'll tak a cup of kindness yet
Well today is new year's eve. Tonight there is midnight, then tomorrow is the beginning of a new year.
Are you ready diet industry!? Make sure you are well stocked.
Sell it fast, these usually don't last for more than a few weeks.
Mine usually don't. Well unless I make a lame easy one. Usually I just propose to be a happy person or something stupid like that. I kinda want to gain weight. Thats a little opposite of the usual resolution, but I'm serious. I need to hit the golf ball farther and also maybe make layups against bigger people.
So I don't know if thats my resolution or not. It will count as part of it.
Anyways, isn't this type of thing like wishes? If I tell you will it not come true? OR at least I won't have the shame of failing and everyone knowing.
In the end my new years resolution is going to end up just as dumb as usual. I'm thinking, "going a full year without peeing my pants" is a good one.
Have a Merry New Year.

I have had an addiction for awhile, but it is really becoming serious now. I guess I should have seen it coming with Christmas coming around and everyone asking me what I want. I could tell them, but they wouldn't understand. They wouldn't know how to get it, or they would find a way, but it would seem impossible and dumb. So I don't exactly tell what I want. I just generally say what I want. Then I tell how I want it. Anyways, enough of that, back to the addiction
My addiction of late (this year) is a serious addiction. I may be going to my first OSA meeting next week before the problems really compound.
I have what they (by they, I mean me) call OSS (not to be confused with OPP), Online Shopping Syndrome. I truly don't believe its a problem, but most drug addicts don't think they have a problem either. Its just so great. Everything is online. Its usually 10x cheaper than anywhere else. I can research and not do too much impulse buying. Sounds great eh?
Well there's a dark side. I have become a super-researcher when it comes to stuff online. I spend countless hours figuring out how to get the best deals on the best stuff, the stuff that will make my happier. I figure out price to happiness ratios. I become a semi-professional person in whatever field I am thinking about purchasing something from.
Recently it has been computers. For this whole thanksgiving break I have spent a great deal of time looking at computers (because the one I am typing on apparently isn't good enough). For a long time I wanted a ps3 (or a wii, or a 360), but I have had a change of heart and mind. I've decided, no, no console, but I want a PC that is better than the consoles. I really believe this is the most awesome idea I've had in awhile.
Most people would say, "to do that you would need a fortune." Thats when my super-researching comes in to play. I have been comparing and contrasting every part of a computer. What do I need? what can I skimp on? What do I need to pay more on? is the 8600 gt good enough or should I upgrade to 8800gt? or is the 9600gt better than both? will it matter if my mobo (motherboard) isnt good enough? is my mobo good? Will this processor be good enough? I need a newer one. No not quite quad core, dual core will do me fine. but what is the difference between a 4000+ and a 6000+? is it worth paying more for? How much ram? Will vista require me to get 20gb of ram? how about crysis? will this setup be good enough for Crysis? Oooh, Crysis, lets compare games now. Pure looks better on the pc? awesome, crysis requires a great pc? is mine great? I think it will be... unless i stick with the 8600gt. Oh and call of duty. If i buy this game for my computer, will i turn into the rest of my floor? will i start acting and dressing like them? will i hear myself yelling at my monitor like i always hear. and will i be yelling at a different game than contra?
Do you see what I mean? thats the the tip of the iceburg. Those thoughts have been going through my head constantly... plus way way more? oh wait... will those deals go down since it wont be black friday anymore?
Are you beginning to see why I can't tell anyone what I want for christmas... at least detailed... i just say either Money or money towards this computer.
I dont (usually) say I want the AMD Athlon 6000+ Dual Core CPU Asrock ALIVENF6P-VSTA MB (Ethernet, High Def Audio)4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM 500gb hd, dvd+r dual layer burner geforce 8800gt with vista premium. That would just get strange looks... ask alecia. She's given them to me a few times.
Even if the item i wanted was simple, I don't really know if i could tell them. Since my addiction has started, everything I see at stores (mainly electronics) I say, ha, like I'd by that here! Its surely on the internet for half that price (and it probably is).
So it kinda does sound like the internet is great. Easy to find stuff. Easy to research stuff. Better prices.
That causes problems. Easy to find= would i have ever bought a golf simulator if i couldnt find it online? easy to research, could i have been doing something more productive with my time? better prices= would i have bought that at all if i didnt see the good price?
In concussion, my conclusion to the whole thing is that I do have an addiction, but I don't want any help. I like the internet. Everyone is lucky I have no money right now (spent it all on golf simulators and ping pong paddles, and 100 golf balls), or i'd buy stuff.

Jet Audio
Good news everyone!
I finally got sick of Windows Media Player (it would not recognize that I had ANY music on my pc for some reason now)
I downloaded Jet Audio, thats much better, BUT it wouldnt work with www.last.fm (site that keeps track of what you listen to... check mine out! :MY LAST.FM Page
But i looked up some stuff and figured out how to get it to work. It took a little more work than it should have, but now it works.
I should have been studying for my math quiz that I have in 13 minutes.
I also shouldn't have been writing this blog. Its taking my time and YOUR time. sorry.

Now I'm going bite my tongue
now i'm going to look like an idiot, because here comes a vague depressing blog... you know, the kind that I was JUST making fun of.
this will be shorter than the last one i now decide.
here it is:
Now that every single constant I had in the last 3.5 years is gone. Now what?
Am i going to be stronger from what didn't destroy me, or am I destroyed.
I could name the constants, but I won't for now.

2. I'm playing ping pong in the ping pong tournament in springfield tomorrow morning. I will lose.
3.I didn't win bingo.
4.My pc keeps crashing.
Bigaboom bigabang.

Dumb Blog #476
Here it is again. I'm writing and you once again are not reading (by "you" I mean "most people" [I'm not stupid, I know YOU are reading this]).
I think I should start video blogging, or Vlogging as they call it I think. People are reading less and less and watching more and more, but on the downside, YOU would have to see my face everytime (or maybe I could think of something else) and I would have to not look horrible everytime. For example right now I'm blogging (not vlogging) and I look like crap, but it doesn't matter. It also doesn't matter that I'm going to have to go to the bathroom half way through this since time is not a factor when you I'm typing, but it is if I'm being recorded.
(bathroom break)
(15 minutes later)
anywho, where was I?
oh yeah I was talking about a bunch of nonsense. Now I'll continue.
So here's an idea. to get lots of people (over 3!) people to read this blog, I will mention a bunch of names so people will see them (I know how interested you are in yourself).
Here we go. Trent: you suck
Alecia: You have been sick (as have I [oh yeah world, forgot to mention, I've been really sick so if you've seen me lately and thought i looked like crap... I also felt like it.) I love you.
Chuck: thanks for getting me subway and medicine, or taking me there, no thanks for taking my pc from me for so long (3 days) and making me pc binge tonite. I guess the joke is on you though, because you've probably suffered through this whole blog now. HA!
Travis: you won't read this, so i won't bother
Tiger Woods: thanks for being on the cover of my latest obsession (tiger woods 08 for pc)
Timesplitters 2: thanks for being such a great videogame.
Golf Channel: thanks for giving me stuff to watch.
Trent: you've lost focus on the reason you are putting names on here
Alecia: 2nd mention
I quit.
I should have said this earlier. Everyone go to this link: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/showdown/PreviewArtworks/174925 and look at my picture, and give me a 10 or whatever you think! Voting doesn't start til later though.

Whatever passes through my mind in the next few minutes
I always think of things I should blog about, but never do. I'm lazy I guess. Anyways, this... may not be one of those things I think of entirely. I'll just type some things I think about.
Just now. I reached in my pocket. My hand came out with RED fingers! The smell was nasty. I then remembered earlier in the day when I was thinking, "it is dumb of me to put these ketchup packets in my pocket, why don't I throw them away".
I've been working on the www.burnianonline.com website a lot... the new stuff isnt up yet, but everyone should beging going there constantly.
Last week was crazy.
2 weddings and a funeral.
I'm sleeping more this semester. Thats good.
I'm golfing better this semester. Thats good.
I bought a golf simulator. Thats good.
I have some ideas that will make me rich. Thats good.
Anyways I think 2 movies are coming out tomorrow that I want to see:
W
Sexdrive.
South Park is hilarious, but I watched this episode earlier, so I may change the channel. Its the one where Cartman gets the crap beat out of him.
Leesha's doing good...
Jessica's wedding was great...
This blog isalmost over.

Leesha's doing good...

Me
Here's some things that I think that should pretty much explain myself as a person.
Why on earth have they slowed down on selling those sour starbursts in big bags? They used to be places and now they aren't easy to find. That's bologna.
Why did Burger King get rid of their best burger awhile ago (the Angus). It was so good. That's bologna.
Why did Sonic get rid of their Island Fire Burger. That was one of the best burgers you could get from anywhere. THAT is bologna.
Really, whats with "limited time only" things being so good. Why can't the permanent items be that good?
It is so dumb.
Does anyone agree?
Does anyone read this?

Driving Driving Driving Eating Driving Dancing Driving Driving...
so last night was the streetlight manifesto concert i've been waiting for, for a long time.
I left blackburn and drove to southern illinois to take some stuff back and pick alecia up - 2hrs
then left so. ill, towards st. louis. We went to the spaghetti factory to eat - 1.75hrs.
Made our way to the venue. we got lost, was offered some drugs, i think, then found it.
listened to first band The Epic Mayham. They were good and ska.
Listened to second band. Dan Potthast (sp?). He had his acoustic guitar and is in MU330. He played some MU330 and his own songs. he was funny and good. I got caught video recording him and they made me leave...
then i had to put my camera in my car.
and go back in.
so then ZOX played. They were interesting. Had a violinist who was good. Did some interesting things during some songs too.
finally streetlight manifesto played. they were great. itgot realyl crowded, i almost lost my glasses twice but i caught them. They played good songs including a nofx cover (linoleum) and a bandits of the acoustic revolution song (its a wonderful life). They were really fun, we were right up front.
I bought a bandits of the acoustic revolution shirt and alecia bought two streetlight shirts.
we left, drove for 2 hours towards sesser where alecia lives and stopped a few times for gas/ prospects of getting slushies but not getting anything because they didnt have the right kind/getting energy drink -2hrs
then i got to alecias and dropped her off there and headed back to blackburn. i ended up stopping at a shell station in nashville that blurted something out at me really loud that i didnt understand about the gas and check card or something so i put the pump back in the holder and left... i ended up at the same gas station i went to earlier in the night and didnt buy anything. I was awake ok until 30 miles til blackburn where i began feeling really sleepy... i made it at around 4:45 and slept -2hrs.
then i woke up the next morning at 8 for work.

The Big Question
Do people get driven to craziness through actions, instances, people, etc. or were we born with this time bomb of crazy? Or is it maybe a remote bomb of crazy that is set off by an action(s), instance(s), person(s), etc(s)?

I am possible the dumbest person I know right now
I'll make a short story long here:
I'm supposed to be making this review of the toasters concert for my journalism class... well i've been procrastination as usual and not really feeling like sleepign anyways. So two energy drinks gone and its 4:45 and i'm not done with my paper. Well i was looking up some information for my paper and on the Ska's the Limit site they have a thing to stream a bunch of stuff from that concert.. so i clicked on it and opened winamp... it then started playing....
i had also been on the off broadway myspace page before ....
anyways i was listening and nothing sounded familiar so i was confused. i thought maybe i should just wait and then the music i recognized would start playing. Instead it was this kinda crappy music. I wait and waited and then made the horrible realization that i wasted the last 15 minutes of my life listening to crappy music and not listening to the concert because:
my winamp sound was muted. and the off broadway myspace page had music. sucky music.
sooo i figured that out... and the concert is halfway done with the first band and i just exited the mspace page... actually i think i went to blogger with it...
I'm dumb
