I haven't blogged in a while, so I figured just so you guys no I'm alive and not well, I'd blog now!
Last week, I learned a valuable life lesson. Because I learned it the hard way, I'll tell you about it so you can learn it the easy way. I learned that you should not jump over fences. Yes, so last week, I was playing basketball, and the area where the water fountain was inside a fence, and the gate to that was locked. I figured, hey, I could jump over it into that area. I jump over the first one just fine, the second one, I'm going good. I get the drink. Going back now, jumping over the first fence and my foot gets caught on the top. I pretty much entirely destroyed my knee as it like twisted aroudn when my foot was caught up there. Of course, I try to walk it off though, after walking around for a couple minutes, I decide "whatever, I'll jump the last fence to get out" and do that on one foot. Amazingly, throughout all of this, I never fell on the floor, I always landed fine on my right foot, but my left leg is now in a full leg brace to hold my knee straight and they want to do surgery on it. I'm stuck in the brace for 4 weeks and the full recovery is suppoesed to be 4 months. It sucks. Take it from me, don't jump fences, they can be dangerous.

On the other hand, being handicap has its advantages. At Universal you get to skip all the lines, and then at Sea World, in addition to that, you don't have to get off the rides when they are over. Of course, being concerned about how safe going on a bottomless rollercoaster with a knee that can't bend kinda makes up for it.

Anyways, moving on, life on computers has got a lot more boring lately. Nothing new, interesting, exciting, or something for me to rant about has happened. Its all more of the same old stuff that I've warned about for years. AOL dumping their privacy policy and having the "we'll post your private conversations on our wall and laugh at you as we publish them" policy proving my point that Jabber, an open standard for instant messenging, is important. People still are ignorant on what they refuse to try and so on (yes, thats an authentic link to Chris Terry's blog on mine, shocking). People still don't know how to spell. Nothing has changed on the online world. Gnome 2.10 was released, which includes Totem and Sound Juicer, but it doesn't seem too impressive, not much really new. I'm still sitting here waiting for Beagle, and since I'm on my laptop, NetworkManager, to stabilize. So what else? Seems like this was the least ranting I've done in a long time.
