Music Sharing Programs
uTorrent is lightweight and simple. Limewire doesn't screw your pc its the files you download. Well, I've heard Limwire isn't great - more people putting bad files I assume. Also, what can I do to help prevent downloading a rigged file?

Songwriting?
I, personally, don't know as much theory as I should. I can barely follow chord progressions when I solo. Tbh, it really comes down to my feel of the song, and what I happen to blast out. Simple and effective, even though I probably sound a bit pretentious (right word?). I should learn more theory though :mellow:

Why uTorrent over others? By the way, I've pretty much ruled out Limewire (because I heard it screws your PC). And my cousin uses Ares. What about that?

Music Sharing Programs
If this topic is against the rules, feel free to lock it (I guess). Also, please keep comments against this to yourself, rather than beginning a moral discussion. Basically, I've come to a point where I can't afford to listen and buy all the music that I'd like to. Although it's not something I'd prefer to do, the idea of using a sharing program has become more and more appealing. Basically, I'd like to know which program would be safest and best to use on my PC. Also, if there is another method (such as recording Youtube mp3s) that would be better, please suggest it. Keep in mind that it's always nice to own a physical CD, and I'm happy to support artists I enjoy - I just can't donate to everyone.

Songwriting?
I've had an urge to write a song for a couple of days now - nothing too fancy, something like 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins. I've written a couple simple songs fro alto sax, and I can really beast some improv tunes, but I wanna do something with guitar. Oh, and in 8th grade I wrote a poetry packet much akin to Pink Floyd's The Wall. I suppose I could add music to it, that's what I had in mind, but it'd probably sound plagiarized (because in my head, some of it was). That'd be nice to see done. Maybe I'll write one this week, and get it up. BTW, my poetry packet got 105/100, with no criteria open for extra credit =P

Today...
Got a project or two due on Tuesday, but I'm going to my friend's house. No school tomorrow, but I'll probably end up reffing a local soccer tournament, which I made $95 in 200mins of work yesterday :thumbup: So I guess I've got a bit of a problem. It'll get the projects done though. I always end up finishing them with a good grade, somehow.

Click it or ticket
I can't find the video, but there's a clip in Zombieland where a lady drives away from the little girl zombies, T-Bones a cargo truck (the type without the top for logs and hay and stuff) and then flies 20 feet through her front window. She also died. Rule #3 - Seat Belts. This law has been in Massachusetts for a long time now, and I don't see the problem in it at all. Seat belts save lives - why not wear it?

Zombieland - Kinda like the US Shaun of the Dead
I saw it and loved it, although it wasn't the best movie in the world and my uncle said Shaun of the Dead was better. Pretty funny - especially when Bill Murray's there - but not enough zombies tbh. 3.5/5 - would be a 4 but it's not really gonna be something very memorable, I think (or I just have bad memory).

"Unique" Jokes and Fads at Your School?
Special K. Not the cereal, it's some kid's name (his music name - he raps and makes his own music). A bit of a meme between me and my friends.

Today...
In English class, we've been reading mythology (starting with native American) and today we had to make our own in a group. We got Origin of Rainbows. Here's my myth skeleton: Kow-Jo is a bear that is able to travel to other dimensions. One day he comes to Dimension B.C. (Before Color). He meets a little Indian boy named Tow-Pow. Tow-Pow is sad that there is no color in the world Kow-Jo decides to help Tow-Pow, and rips a portal to A.D. (Awesome Definition). Kow-Jo keeps the portal open, bringing color and happiness to the world. That portal today is known as a rainbow. They didn't like it, but everyone else I asked did.

Virtual console ~~~~Wich system would you like to see in it?
Burn the witch! Star Fox 64. I would so use my Wii if that were to come out on VC. Wait, has it? I think it already has. I'd like to see Nintendo add Gameboy titles to the collection - I'm sure they could...

Real life help & advice
Infinite in the sense that there's an infinite number of numbers between 1 and 3. You could get technical and go to 1.0000000000....9, etc. and just go into infinity that way. But a line segment on, say, a graph is pretty much just a line between 2 numbers, so any numbers between the beginning and end are on the line. That makes perfect sense - I hadn't thought of it like that. Thanks everyone (but mostly Lenin).

Real life help & advice
This is a thought I've been having since Geometry class two days ago: A line carries on forever in two directions, composed of an infinite number of points. A Point represents a specific area on a line/plane, and at best is infinitely small. Therefore, isn't a line segment also composed of infinite points? It would be something like a fractal, which looks like it ends but really doesn't? It's probably not worded as best as it could be - and the second point might be where I'm wrong, but I'm curious to know :?

Today...
That guys' a [bleep]. No other way to put it. I would suggest asking him for 20% of all sales, but more than likely he would just say no. So, I suggest you ruin his life, destroy his career and steal his girlfriend. Usually works. And from the ashes of his defeat, you will rise - victorious. Or pee on the shirts. Today I didn't do much, but I didn't do much with my friend. So 'scool.

The soccer coach called back and told me they had an open position, so I'm in \ And school starts tomorrow :cry: We had to read that book last year (Freshman Year). Nobody did... We all failed the test. It's one of those books were if you don't want to read it, you'll never be able to get through it. I suppose one day I'll pick it up again though...

Methods of Skilling
So, everything is set but herblore - any tips for that? Then I think all my questions have been answered!

Methods of Skilling
I want to do some skilling. What are the best methods for getting... SKILL: Level - Goal - My Idea ~~~~ AGILITY: 66 - 70 - Wilderness Course or Brimhaven w/ Karamja Gloves 3 MAGIC: 79 - 80 - Hi-Alching Fletching Results FLETCHING: 76 - 80 - Yew Longbows? I forget what I can make at this level. CRAFTING: 68 - 70 - Green Dragonhide Bodies HERBLORE: 67 - 70 - SUMMONING: 61 - 68+ - This is a low priority, but my ideas are Ibis and Bloated Leech until I can make Fruit Bat/Bunyip and Stranger Plants. CONSTRUCTION: 60 - 65+ - Lowest Priority, I was thinking oak larders, and use some Mahog. Planks I have for Mahog. things... ~~~~ I have about 9m to spend, although I wouldn't want to spend more than 4-5m. Quick Question: How do the Morphic and Volatile tools from SC work? Which one is better for training? Thanks in Advance

First day of soccer tryouts - Two 2:30 sessions. Brutal. 6 laps first session, each lap about 1/2 a mile or more I'd say. That, followed with some not bad drills, but when I chest the ball it really hurts and it's harder to breath when I breathe deeper (like when running). I suppose I'm doing it wrong. Session two had 10 laps or so, but I had to walk a little do to leg pains and harder chest breathing. Followed by some more drills that could have gone better, then a scrimmage. Played horrible in the first half (I was assigned as Defense... not good at defense), and my calves cramped a bit, but not too much. Second game I was up front and played a lot better - including scoring a goal. I really hope I make it. I've waited a year for tryouts again, and I was (imo) wrongly cut, whereas the WORST player made the team. Politics in my town suck. Repeat tomorrow.

Dev. blog - Changing Names, 27 August
I'm just gonna change it to Adam, so people don't come up to me and say 'Hey Admant' anymore. Because it's Adam. Not Admant.
