I just got my new motherboard after Newegg sent me a bad one. I'm having fun with my:
Windows Vista Ultimate
4GB RAM
160GB + 80GB Hard Drives
Pentium D 3.0GHz Processor
nVidia 7200GT SLI Graphics Cards
So really there is no reason to be posting right now, as I could be using my sweet computer!

Street lights!
Before I start, I want to say that I would like to start posting every day. I may try for a few days. I might have the strength to think up some stuff once in a while. And I just might type it into this little white box, so the rest of you can read it in a nice blue/teal/aqua (whatever you want to call it) box. Maybe...
Anyway, the reason I am posting today is to be crabby. Every single day, on my way to work, I come to this intersection. For some reason the streetlight is always red. There is probably a reason though. It seems, that this particular light favors the one direction of traffic that has no cars to be seen for miles. All of the other three directions of traffic are stuck because this light has to be dumb and give a solid green light and a green arrow to NOBODY! It seems like a simple technology could be put into place so that streetlights would know which lanes have cars, and which don't. I could do it with a webcam and my laptop, I'm sure the government could figure out a way to make "smart" lights.
GGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Make the lights stop being stupid!!!
Ah crap, I left the sweet picture I made to describe this on another computer.

Hedge trimming 101
(2007, Ontario, Canada) Recently a patient was rushed into the hospital, needing a surgeon to reattach the tips of his fingers to his left hand. While taking the patient history, it was found that this bright chap got the idea of holding his lawn mower sideways and applying it to his hedge. He was holding the mower deck, trimming the hedge, and things went well until the weight of the mower got to be a bit much. He readjusted his grip on the mower deck, and that was when the blade bit him.
When the reconstructive plastic surgeon was almost finished with the complex job of sewing the patient back together, another patient came in with the same injury! On investigation, it was found that he, too, had been using his mower to trim his hedge. Apparently, he lived near the first patient. He saw his neighbor trimming his hedge with the mower, and thought it was a bright idea.
Often fact is so much weirder than fiction.

VIDEO DAY!
IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
What can Brown do for you?
This is mainly audio. This cop takes confiscated marijuana and makes brownies. He then calls 911 because he thinks that he is dead.

My name's Brandon. I'm not a cop.
The first thing you should know is that Diesel doesn't play by the rules. I, however, do. Although the reason that Diesel doesn't play by the rules is that he doesn't know most of them. I know many rules and thats why I follow them.
The second thing you should know is that a rule is defined as:
1. A principle or regulation governing conduct, action, procedure, arrangement, etc
2. Control, government, or dominion
3. A prescribed mathematical method for performing a calculation or solving a problem
I would assume that Diesel would mean "A principle or regulation..." because not playing by the control of government doesn't make sense. He could, of course mean that he doesn't follow mathematical rules. He could think that 2+2=3. However, for the sake of this post we will assume that he is talking about principles or regulations, as those are the type of rules that I follow. Now, I'm not saying that I don't think that 2+2=4. I just want you to know that I do follow regulations.
I also mentioned I wasn't a cop. I said this to make sure you didn't think I was a cop after reading Diesels post. He explains that he is a cop and you may have thought that I was a cop after reading his post. I am surely not a cop. Unless, of course, you count the fact that I am in the Mattress Police force. This does not make me a cop as a cop is defined as a person who seeks to regulate a specified behavior, activity, practice, etc. Being in the mattress police does not mean that I regulate a specified behavior, activity or practice. But as I mentioned above I DO follow regulations. The mattress police do nothing more than sit at their computers and type stupid blog posts. A mattress police can be a cop, however this does not mean that by being a mattress police that you are automatically a cop.
The other thing I mentioned is that my name is Brandon. This would be because my parents liked some TV personallity named Brandon and thought that it was a good name. Therefore my name is Brandon.
The reason I told you that Diesel doesn't play by the rules is because this post wouldn't have much meaning without me semi-plagiarizing his work. This, by the way, is not breaking the rules considering that Diesels rules for plagerizing are, "you must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work). " I belive I gave credit where it is due, and that I did not suggest that Diesel endorses my work. Therefore, I am still "playing by the rules."
Anyway, I don't make the rules.
