And for the cream filling

I was virtually transperant from the online world during my first semester of school this year. As you can see from my single post in late September and my absence until this very day. I'd been busy with school, and Medievia. However, I've again stopped playing dear Medievia. It was great and all for the first couple months, but like any game you reach a point where you feel you've progressed as far as you can and thus, feeling a)victorious or b)burned out, stop playing. You move on to bigger and better things. My bigger and better things were Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR).

GTA:VC is a great game. You have to love jacking cars and shooting guns, as well as money. That game was great fun. Was. I lost interest in the game (are you seeing a trend here?) right around the end of the game. So I moved on to KOTOR. Badass is what I have to say. I've never really had any great urge to watch any of the Star Wars movies but after playing this game I want to watch the original three movies right now. But like the other games I've played, KOTOR fell through to something else, I admit.

I've been working on a project at home since mid-December. I'm programming something in Java that should bring great enjoyment to many people. I spent an hour in the office of my Java professor yesterday afternoon going over my code and how I can improve it. Slated for an April release; I'm learning more tricks to use in the program with every class I attend.

Christmas was great. My girlfriend and I got a digital camera from her father for Christmas. It doesn't see extensive use, but we do have 100+ pictures taken since we got it. And since my birthday was just days after Christmas... hehe. My Mom and Brother bought me a 256MB Flash-Rom USB Hard-drive. I'm listening to Billy Talent here at school with WinAmp running off my hard-drive as I type this. It rawks. Thanks Mom and Brother.
On the topic of other cool stuff, my girlfriend bought me a sweet case for my computer. Follow the link and fill your shorts with envy. Thanks, hun.

-Always looking for my next entertainement fix
To read minds

I figure that if I was able to read minds, I wouldn't study as hard for test. And you know what? That would be all right. Why? Because, if I had the ability to read minds, I'd be able to know what people wanted and/or were looking for all the time. I'd know what my professor was expecting me to study; or better yet I'd know what to expect on the next quiz/test/midterm/exam. I would study only the questions on the exam, and I would ace it. And that would be fine.

After graduating with honors, I'd make it into the real world. I'd be prepared for anything in the work place. With my power to read minds, I'd have the combined knowledge of all my co-workers. I'd be a prodigy, that's what I'd be. And if I were to go on a game show, anything to do with knowledge, I'd be able to use my powers and come out on top.

You may think this is cheating; cheating == evil, but I'd have to disagree. If I have those powers, why not use them. If everyone had those powers then it wouldn't be such a big deal. Knowledge would be passed down from one person to the next, and everyone would be just as intelligent as the next. From here, society could go two ways. We either degenerate into a reliant conglomerate of false-knowledge or

-we feed on knowledge and increase our intelligence even more.
