I'm so bummed out. A buddy of mine got injured on Monday from doing a low turn, I lost a very good friend of mine last month, and now I lost a best friend from high school. He took his own life this past monday. That's the 3rd friend in 3 years that took their own life. I never kept in touch with any of them for a long time. I hope some of you get this as a message to never fail to keep in touch with a friend. You never know how you may or may positively impact that person from a phone call, e-mail or just from guzzling down some suds with 'em. I know you can't change the world but that's no excuse to not keep in touch. Here's what I wrote about him on my blog: I still can't believe that it's true. Tony, my best friend from high school, took his own life this past monday. I will be attending his wake today. A lot of friends will try to speculate why Tony did it or what was going through his mind to want to do such a thing. I, on the other hand want to remember the way he lived life. During our summer breaks from school, Tony and I used to get high or get drunk and break day just to watch the sunset every day for about 3 summers. We used to just talk about anything from family problems to stuff that made us tick. I used to be heavily into martial arts back then. I trained Tony how to do some moves. I choreographed a scheme with Tony to sike people out one day. We would practice our routine for weeks on end. Then, when we successfully complete the routine with our eyes practically closed we decided to test it out in public. First, we would cause a scene in the mall. He bumped into me and then I started shouting and we would get into our fight stance. Then, we swiftly executed all our choreographed martial arts moves. It was funny because we moved so fast and we put such emotion into it we actually looked like we wanted to kill eachother. The most funny part of it all. We did the moves so great we didn't even hit eachother. It was either I strike and he blocks or vice versa. For young teenagers, that was pretty damm good, if you ask me. We put about 20 moves altogether. It was great because people were calling the cops and everything. They were afraid to break us apart because so many fists and feet were flying around, someone would get knocked out. After our routine, we just shook hands and ran the hell out of there before the cops came. We really freaked people out. We then started to do our routine in fast food joints, beaches, and even in quiet neighborhoods. Well, one day, I fudged up and I kicked Tony so hard in the head, I cut him. Then, in a seperate incident, I got kicked in my solar plexus. Let's just say after a few times we both got sloppy and that was pretty much the end of it. So we just stuck to what we do best which was smokin' up and getting drunk. Tony was a great tennis player, he was an actor, swing dancer, he had a masters degree and he was a well to do guy. He was always considerate towards other people's feelings. Tony was a good guy. He was very respectable to parents when he greeted them. My mom hasn't seen him since 1985 but she remembers him very well. That made me smile. I'll miss you buddy. I'm sorry we never got back in contact with one another again. And I'm sorry for always putting off hanging out with you again a few years back. That's when work used to be so important to me. If I only knew back then what I know now.... Maybe you'd still be alive because I would have touched your life again and we would have been best buds again. I'll miss you bro. - This is from the NY Sun MAN JUMPS IN FRONT OF SUBWAY TRAIN A man jumped in front of a northbound subway car as it pulled into Union Square station early yesterday morning in an apparent suicide, police said. The man was identified as Antonio Lopez, 35, of Elmhurst, Queens, who worked as a computer specialist for New York City Transit, the authority that operates the subway. Lopez jumped from the platform onto the path of the oncoming N train at 5:34 a.m., police said. Service was disrupted for more than 90 minutes between Prince and 34th streets on the N line. In 2003, the last date for which statistics are available, 24 people committed suicide by "jumping or lying before a moving object," a category that includes subway trains, according to the city's Bureau of Vital Statistics.

I always prefer to pack my own rig. However, I've gotten my rig packed at least 10 times these past 3 weeks cuz I was in a hurry to get on the next load. Fortunately for me, regardless of who packs my rig, I always get a nice long snivel cuz of my spectre 210. Softer openings are easier on the nads.

Second Woman: "You froze to death - how horrible!" First Woman: "Well, it wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm and sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?" Second Woman: "I died of massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den, watching TV." First Woman: "So what happened?" Second Woman: "I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere, that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched and down to the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under every bed. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died." First Woman: "Too bad you didn't look in the freezer, we'd both still be alive..." What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done there were 3 finalists. Two men and a woman. For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!" The man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife" The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home." The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home." Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, She wiped the sweat from her brow. "This gun is loaded with blanks" she said. I had to beat him to death with the chair." What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

Sara, you were the best thing that ever happened to X-keys girl. You were always pro-active with keeping safety at the DZ. You came a long way since we met at first 5 years ago. I was proud of you when you became a regular tandem camerawoman and a tandem instructor. My last memory of you was when we were on the same load and you were smiling and blew a kiss at me yesterday. Who would have known that would have been the last time I would have seen you smiling. Yonatan, my heart and condolences go out to you and Sara's family. I hope someone posts where we can contribute for funeral and wake services for both Ron and Sara. Sara, I know God is looking after you now. Rest in peace. We will all miss you.

Yonatan, I'm at a loss for words dude. I just saw you guys yesterday. I'm sorry for your loss. I've known Sara since I started jumping at X-keys in '00. I remember her when she only had 40 jumps and she was working in manifest. I feel so sick right now. Yonatan, please let me know and let us all know how we can contribute for Sara's funeral or wake services. I'll miss you Sara. What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

Nah, I never feel like I know more than others. I know for sure that I have more experience than most with the same number of years experience because I'm 1 out of 2 people that service 1,000 computer users in our building alone. So I get to experience the same problems at least 50-60 times every few months for the past 6 years and I got to build at least 600 machines in three years. I made out because my company was too cheap to hire more help so I gained more experience and overtime. I can assemble a computer in less than 15 minutes.

Amen to that my brother! Now, I know I have a buddy to ask questions if I come across a problem that I cannot resolve, which really never happens but at least I know I can ask for your opinion if it does. Blue skies. What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

Yes, you're right. We don't know if he has a USB 2.0 interface. However, even if he didn't, USB 2.0 is backwards compatible. Therefore, you can plug into a USB 1.0 jack. However, then the speed will be comprimised, of course. Yeah, good point, that would defeat the purpose. Unless, we go with firewire but that's a different ball of wax. What are you benchmarking them against? Are your drive speeds up to 7200rpm? Well, since we're both in IT, we can safely say that computer related problems are viewed on a case by case basis. 3 out of 10 people might experience the same problems while the other 7 won't. You know as well as I do that it's all based on which brand of hard drive enclosures they're using, what applications they're using, how much memory they have, what their drive speeds are, yada yada yada.

This is doable but not feasible. The IDE card will most probably be a PCI interface. This will slow down the drive's performance dramatically. PCI bus speeds compared to IDE bus speeds is a lot slower. I'd say go for the USB 2.0 hard drive enclosure. It's simple and you can take the drive with you anywhere you please. It's cheap too. And it's a heck of a lot faster than a PCI bus speed. You can't f*ck with USB 2.0. USB hard drive enclosure What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

Two women friends had gone for a girl's night out; both were very faithful and loving wives.. however, they had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Apple Martini's and wine. Incredibly drunk & walking home they needed to pee, so they stopped at the cemetery. One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought she would take off her panties and use them. Her friend however was wearing a rather expensive pair of panties and did not want to ruin them, but was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave that had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she decided to wipe with that. After the girls did their business they proceeded to go home. The next day one of the women's husband was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said, "These damn girls' night out have to stop. I'm starting to suspect the worst.. my wife came home with no panties!! I'll kill the son of a b*&^% !!" "That's nothing", said the other husband. "Mine came back with a card stuck between the crack of her ass that said 'From all of us at the Fire Station. We'll never forget you'." What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

You have to look at it fromt their standpoint. If I get injured outside of work, I can claim that it happened at work. And guess what? I get to retire at 75% pay for the rest of my life for only working a few years for NYPD. A lot of people have done that to them in the past. They've been jaded too many times. It provides an easy out for a lot of people that want easy money. Getting injured on the job and retiring with 75% of your current pay has been a big contraversy with the NYPD for many years now. Trust me, there are a lot of dishonest people out there and they want an easy out. They usually end up taking this route. That's the problem buddy. I can't join the union until after my probation period is over. Therefore, there is no protection shelter for me until after the probation period.
