Y2K Related Problems with Zune 12/31/08
2:52 PM
Around midnight on 12/31/08, my 30GB Zune wouldn't start up all the way. It was "stuck" or "frozen" on the loading screen until the battery died. Some people call it the ZSOD (Zune Screen of Death). I hear people all over the world are having the same issue.
I was managed to fix this problem.
If you want to fix your Zune too, you can send it to me to have it fixed for a small fee or just follow just these steps:
Step 1
You'll need something to unscrew and pop open the case of the Zune. What I used are:
• A razor blade
• Butter knife
• small flathead screwdriver for glasses
You're gonna have to remove the bottom dock port spacer. It should easily pop off if you insert your razor or flathead at one of the corners.
Step 2
After the spacer is removed, use your screwdriver or razor to unscrew the two screws.
Step 3
Insert the butter knife inbetween the small gap and work up. Don't force the case open by the headphone jack or it will be torn off of the board.
Step 4
Lift the switch up where the battery is connected and remove the battery strip for 15 seconds. Then insert the battery strip and flip the switch back.
If you do this, be very careful. There's no guarantees it'll be the same for you, but after putting the bottom half of the case, screws and spacer back on, my Zune should play music like it did the day before.

Do you guys remember this game? It was my favorite game when I was 8 and it still is. Better than Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. Hell, even better than Marvel vs Capcom. My friend recently introduced me to the show Heroes and that's when I realized, "wait a minute!"
That's where this game came from. Hiro or Peter Petrelli must have had this game created when they went back in time, Duh.

I was just watching the 2nd episode of the 3rd season of Heroes when I noticed Mr. Bennet shooting Sylar in the tune of Deck the Halls:
Christmas Day 12/26/08

I love attending Christmas parties and hearing kind words from my family:
"You're getting fat."
- Danny, my cousin
On top of that he patted my cheeks. I guess I am fat compared to how anorexic I looked a few years ago.
"What's with your hair, dude?"
- Jon, my cousin
Idk, maybe it was because of the hat I was wearing. I looked fresh to deaf.
After a Penthouse magazine wrapped up over and over again in a cylinder from Danny, a $20 Wal*Mart gift card, and a Volcom shirt, I went to a little kick back. I was pretty much hanging out with cholos and homosexuals together in a small room. It was very awkward.
I topped off the night at this Ihop-esque restaurant on Charleston and Decatur and now I have hardcore nasal congestion. Yay.
Habbo as of December '08 12/19/08

Pixels
I guess you accumulate pixels based on how often and long you use Habbo. It gives you the ridiculous options of buying shitty Habbo furniture (you still need coins, but 99 pixels = 1), ride spacecrafts instead of walking in a room, have a frozen (baby blue) tint to your Habbo, have butterflies fly around you, rent bubbles for your room and more.
Pretty flaming homosexual if you ask me.
UFO
Not only are Habbos too lazy to go out and meet people in real places, but they need hover cars so their Habbos don't even have to move.
Color changing
If being a girly baby blue color is the new cool thing to do, count me out.
Penguins
I guess these radioactive exorcist penguins are supposed to spread the holiday spirit.
In conclusion, I realize Sulake's new direction in business:
Get kids to have their parents pay for their computers to lag 10 times worse than they already do.

I saw Castaway for the first time the other day and realized it should have been called FedEx: The Movie. I also found Frylock's long lost cousin Wilson the volleyball.
Lookin' for Tix
I really want to see Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand and The Ting Tings at the Joint but finding tickets is a bitch unless I want to pay over $50 for one from Ticketmaster. :'(

I was driving east down Sahara passed Lindell when I noticed a Mexican News van was pulled over by a cop.
I just found it funny. I'm not racist. I like Mexicans. With all the work they do, I think it's okay that learning another language doesn't have to be one of them.
Let Me Be 12/04/08

I have a pet peeve. It's when people that are close to a girl that I'm getting close with set me aside and tell me that they love the girl and that they'll kill me if I hurt the girl.
Another pet peeve is when I'm egged on by another couple to make moves or do things as if I don't know what I'm doing.
Just let me be.
I Tried
Sometimes, I think the 2 that I was in the car with feel like I left them behind by getting a lawyer for myself.
First of all, it was an unplanned, last-minute deal to meet up with the lawyer. Usually, a fee is supposed to be paid before speaking to them, but I got a little leeway and met with the guy the day before my court date.
I was managed to give him what he needed to represent me so I didn't have to go to court, but it was too late for me to have him help the other 2 because he'd need to speak with them also, but I didn't know where they were, and the lawyer had other things to do. Plus, I wasn't about to pull more money out of my ass for the 2 that I wasn't sure wanted or could even pay for a lawyer or not.
So I paid him $500 after he went for me. The 2 were late for their hearing so now they have warrants. I have a court date in 2009. Hopefully things turn out well for us. I will be furious if we all received the same sentence after I paid $500.

I like my job, I really do, but I always put myself in a stressful mood. All the work I receive is quick and simple but I turn it into a very long process because deadlines and schedules make me pressure myself so much.
Whenever I'm finally caught up I fall way behind pretty fast. I don't know what to do but I'm working on it.

Thanksgiving was great. I had lunch with some of my family, and 2 other dinners with more of my family. I'm going to another Thanksgiving dinner tonight followed by a birthday party.
Maybe They're Lazy
It looks like Clark High School's publications class is running out of ideas because 2007's yearbook says, "I am," and 2008's says, "You are."
If you look at the 2007 yearbook, you'll see a mosaic of Luke Werner whom attended Clark High School decades ago and now sits in the hallway all day everyday. That's some outrageous spirit for a school that fails at every sport and is filled with delinquents.
Loser
'[Do you] see why you envy me?' is how I read this license plate. Why would I envy them though? Because they bought an overpriced vehicle with shitty gas mileage from a shitty dealership? I don't think so.
Weather
First, it was hail, then heavy rain and then fog that covered streets. I was really digging that.
Downs
I've been a bit down lately. The best way I can describe how I feel right now can be summed up in one word:
American.
So I gotta stop being American so I can finally be happy.

Nothing completes a manly 19th birthday without a $4.00 fun size poodle cake.

I was in a C-5 Galaxy yesterday. It's one of those big ass air crafts used in the Air Force. Yesterday was the air show. We were late though, but it didn't matter because all I wanted to do was spend time with this special someone and I did. We also got to see the police horses shitting and peeing as we waited in a very long shuttle bus line back to our car.
Happy birtday to me, by the way.

A 15-year-old boy threatened to run away after his Xbox was taken away from him. His father even helped him pack. 3 weeks later, he's found dead.
That's why my parents never took my electronics.

The last week of October was filled with ups and downs. One night included thrills that came in bags, canisters and bottles, resulting in a whole morning without slumber, but it was a perfect morning.
Another night introduced me to some pretty awesome people that throw cupcake parties.
I was dressed as a white Lil' Wayne for Halloween. I had a D&G chain, a cross chain and a gold chain. I also had a white tank top, a black vest, a white hat that said, "DON'T TREAD ON ME," black and white high top shoes and jeans with a brown belt. I was trying to look the way he did in the A Millie music video, but I couldn't find the orange pants. Too bad I didn't take a picture. I even had the face tattoos.
Halloween was rather bad. I was planning on attending a few events that night, but I got too wasted at the first one, in a Planet Hollywood Suite, where I passed out on the floor in my own Hawaiian Punch/Absolut Vodka puddle.
Not a big fan of mixed drinks. I didn't feel crap for awhile and all of a sudden it creeped at me. Oh well, I'll know what not to do at my birthday party 9 days from now.
