Everything and Nothing

I’m taking a needed break, from doing school work. Which is always a tedious task for me. Also, before I start having a panic attack, to the result of viewing that I have a research paper that’s going to be due Oct 20th, and I completely thought it was further than that.

I wanted to talk about everything and nothing. This is the reason for the title.  I have nothing to say, but there’s things to talk about. You know, one of those, whatever, kind of posts.

I realized infamous blogs aren’t updating as often as they used to either. An example would be My Mean Girl.  I am a little disappointed in it’s lack of updates, but, I guess we all have lives.  Took me a lot to just come on and do this, seeing as I have more important things to attend.  Not only that, but life can sometimes be a bitch, and you have to put it on pause, just for the sake of sanity.

I am still looking for the conversations that Mark Foley had with some of his ex-pages.  I am not sure if the one’s being read over the news are the only ones, and I doubt they are.  Not only that, I am very much positive that someone out there has taken the liberty of posting these instant message conversations he had.  I honestly think it would be an interesting read and something to talk about at work, or a social event, or maybe just to yourself.

I wanted to make sure, throughout all of this rambling, that my thoughts on Word Press new look for their 2.1, was entered into this post.  I am not sure if this will give me more hits to the page, because it seems that Word Press related tags are the ones that gets the most views.  Not only that, but entertainment is another tag that gets a lot of hits.  Especially psychotic movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.  Which I wrote my own little review/promotional piece on it.  The post I made about it, keeps getting views every day, and it’s not just little views, but about 8 people have come to my blog cause of it, everyday.  Also, I found it to be pretty nice to see my website in the Google search for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.  Yay for me.

Anyways, back to the Word Press look.  To me, the Dashboard isn’t that fantastic.  I prefer the way it looks now.  I mean, yeah, it’s artistically appealing to the eyes. But I am not sure if my retarded brain would be able to keep up with it.  They’re calling it the Word Press Shuttle Project.  You can click the previous link to go to the official page of it all.  I thought the interaction amongst different individuals for this project, being as they all aren’t located in the same state or country for that matter, was a praise on how far the internet has come when it relates to communication.  To be able to develop new, innovative (because Word Press is innovative), online services, is always an impressive thing.

I looked at the dashboard pictures first, and was a little confused by the layout.  It didn’t seem that user-friendly to me.  Right now Word Press dashboard is quite easy to understand.  I logged into it for the first time, when I created a blog on wordpress.com, and it took me seconds to find the link to write a post.  With the 2.1, it’s kind of confusing.

The Profile admin area, seems to be a little less confusing. Everything is right there, no looking left and then looking right to enter information.  Everything is in a basic, form, format.

Theme Management seems to be incorporating some instructional guides in it.  I don’t know why, seeing as if you are adventurous enough to enter into the Theme Editor, I would hope you have the brains to alter anything in there.  The Theme Preview section, isn’t that bad.  But for some reason, they still have instructions there.  I don’t know why, seeing as Activate and Current are very simple explainations of what’s going on.  The preview that comes up, on the right hand side, is very handy.  Being there and everything.

Now, the whole part of all of this redesign, that I had most of my senses activated, was the Post Management area.  It seems a little boring compare to what it looks like now.  The fact that Categories section doesn’t seem to be scrollable, makes it seem as if one has too many categories, the whole page will be extended.  They want to have the categories below Discussion and Post Status.  Which I don’t like.  I always digged having the category right next to the entry area.  To me, I prefer having the listing of the functions that we have now: categories, discussion, post password, post slug, post status and so forth, are in the appropriate places in Word Press 2.0.  I think it’s user-friendly, and very self explainatory, which makes me have to hate the instructional guide they also seem to want to have in the write post and page section.  I think it’s pretty obvious what one does in the write page and post section.  I don’t know, it’s just me.  Another thing about this section, is that it seems when you publish the page or post, that it comes to a page that says “Post Published Successfully!”  I don’t know if I want to see that all the time.  I like now, that when I hit Publish, it just refreshes and the page becomes blank of any of the text I had in the post entry area.  This allows me to then, immediately, write something else, if my heart desires.  But maybe, some of you guys want the reassurance that your post has been posted.

Other than that.  Call me old fashion, but I am not one for change, especially if the change doesn’t seem to be doing much for me, than confusing the hell out of this already, confused brain.

The only reason why I wouldn’t diss this layout too much, is because this Broken Kobe, has an awesome layout, that’s an open-source theme that’s somewhat like the one he has on his page, and I already downloaded it and can’t wait to Activate it, when I get my own domain.

Which, I believe is going to be very soon. 

One  of the other things I want to discuss.  Is relationships.  Finally, I know!  I haven’t really mentioned anything about relationships in my blog, because I kept thinking that it’s something personal and shouldn’t be talked about, seeing as anything I would have to say, would have to come from personal experience and such. But, I don’t mind talking about it, because this is a general topic, and I need to vent!

I want to ask one simple question.  Why are girls like that?  I know, very vague question isn’t it?  The fact that it’s vague, might not even come as a shocker to you, because you yourself have been wondering, why are girls like that?  It doesn’t matter what the that is, they are just like that and I need to know why!

I will hit on one of the thats, that girls are. One, why are girls so emotional.  I mean, come on.  Tears are for babies.  It’s not cute.  I feel sorry when my girlfriend cries, but I just sometimes don’t understand it.  I know, I get mad for nearly everything, and it scares me how mad I can get about petty things, but I don’t ever cry about it. 

How about also, when a girl wants to act tough, she can’t handle the consequences for it. Example, you starting to act tough.  You get pissed, they act like they don’t care cause they all bad now, and when you don’t speak to them and it seems as if it’s easier for you to not speak to them, than the other way around, they get emotional and well, cry!  Why is that?  Why is it if I want to be mad, and have the ability to ignore you more than you can ignore me, you got to get sad over that.  When I say I want time, I want time!  The reason for this “time out” is because I am upset at the moment, and the only way I know to not curse you out, or become Hulk or something, is to just leave it, and not come back.  I’ll come back eventually, but not right away.

Yeah, I had to sigh there.  Cause I don’t get it.  My situation is like this.  I got mad with my gf last night for something petty.  I tried, honestly, to calm down.  But, I couldn’t.  I couldn’t kill that anger, and just say, you know what, that what I am angry about isn’t even that upsetting. It’s pathetic.  But no, angry emotion took over the brain’s commands of what to do.  So even if I didn’t want to be mad anymore, because I rationalized that there is no reason to be mad, I was still mad.  So, I left.  I left, because I needed to. They, acting all bad and a big girl, says okay and leave also.  But see, if you’re leaving and acting so bad, don’t come back!  I don’t know.  I didn’t talk to her last night and when she came on today, I didn’t truly speak to her.  She got an attitude telling me that she’s saying Hi, cause I couldn’t say hi.  And she’s appreciating the fact I didn’t ask her how she was, seeing as last night her chest was hurting and she messaged me telling me this.  How about, give me a damn chance?  Well, she’s gone now until later tonight.  I sent her a message saying the exact thing I just said there.  How, in heaven’s or hell’s name am I to ask you something, if you going to one, not give me a chance and two, leave immediately.  I don’t get it!

Well, that surely was a vent.  I want to hear what you guys have to say. Why are girls like that?  Anyone? Anyone???
