generation gap

Post by Alan Bolte »

I'm sitting here, looking through SDnet, and my dad walks into the room. Asks me, "Would you mind closing that window?" I sit there blankly for a moment, then click the X. I'm a little confused. Then I feel a breeze. The window to my left is open, and it's raining outside. "Oh, that window."

Hahaha. My dad's a fellow computer geek, so we don't have that problem.

My brother once asked me if he had any mail. You can guess which mail I thought he was referring to :)

That's why you say e-mail. :wink: :lol: ~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I also feel that way sometimes. When playing computer games I tend to save a lot Sometimes if I get out of trouble or accompolish something great in the realworld I search for the save button so I can reload myself should something go wrong. :D

And humorous thing happens to me when I am mired deep into the world of C++ programming. Even when talking to people I can not get the idea of what I was working on out of my mind. Everything I see I begin to visualise from a programming point of view. I recall while crossing a road I was actualy thinking funtions and algorithoms about the movement of the cars. I found it silly when I realised what I was doing.

Still logical thinking drives me all the time. I always view life from logical point of view. Luck in my opinion is just a random factor in the program of life.

Some of ya'll might want to step away for a bit and go outside. I like to go fishing and hunting personally it gets me away from the craziness that is the world and into the calmness of the wild. (when you go do not take a laptop, cellphone, pager, tv, radio or any type of electrical devices.)

Seriously though breaks are good for your mind :wink: .

Thankfully there's little generation gap between me and my parents, my mum is like 20 years older than me.
