I'm taking a break from this blog. I haven't been posting much anyway, so I'm not going to post for a little while. Who knows how long that will be (day? week? month?) seeing as I haven't posted anything in about two weeks now.

So that means As Twisted By Dave is not a dead website, but now a museum of digital history.

Leave your comments or sign the tag board. Make a petition or something, I dunno.

NO... I'm not dead.

I nearly did though. I nearly got hit by a car while biking. Thank God I adjusted my brakes right before I left home. I also got rained on while riding out there. It was really nice when it was a slow and steady downpour, slowly soaking me, but when I saw that wall of rain coming for me, my mood took a turn for the worse. Then *SLAP* the wall of rain hit me.

What's in my horoscope today?
LIBRA (born between 24th September and 23rd October):
Being more compassionate towards yourself will cause your stature to rise. Learn to laugh at your mistakes and be willing to learn from them. When people observe your sensible attitude, they'll entrust you with serious responsibilities. Stop pretending you're not capable of handling important jobs. The fact is, you have a remarkable ability to create harmony where chaos once ruled. Employers pay handsomely for your talent.

Anyone know how to install a USB 2.0 Root Hub without the drivers.

I keep getting a hit almost everyday from a Health Canada computer. Now, these people take care of us all here in Canada and I'm guessing they're doing research or something. Or just bored.

But I'm taking the former on this one and announcing that As Twisted By Dave is good for your health! It's (kind of) Health Canada approved!

My puter has been acting funny lately and I think I know the problem, but it's gonna need a complete overhaul anyway, so I've been trying to back up all my files (mp3s, music videos, program installers, pictures, etc) and trying to find them all is proving to be a bit of a challenge. Here's an update to tide you all over in the meantime - D.

True Friends Oath.
Are you tired of all those sissy, mushy "friendship" poems that always sound good but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship!

When you are sad ... I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against the SOB who made you sad.
When you are blue ... I'll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
When you smile ... I'll know you finally had sex.
When you are scared ... I will rag you about it every chance I get.
When you are worried ... I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.
When you are confused ... I will use little words to explain.
When you are sick ..... stay away from me until you're well again. I don't want whatever you have.
When you fall ... I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

Remember: A friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body.

Lowbrows.... three of them:

Lowbrow One: (Now remember, these aren't made up by me)

So I was enjoying a cigarette with my newly found girlfriend. And across the road came a friend of mine in his truck.

He waved me over and so I ran across the street to talk with him.

Didn't realize he was backing up at mach 2. when he hit me I flew like 10 feet from where I was standing.

The only thing that came to mind was if my smoke was alright.

They were right, smoking will kill me.

Lowbrow Two:

I hate my neighbors.

One of the highlights of each month is asking the nosy, white-trash, redneck bitch of a neighbor of mine how her husband is doing, citing the fact that I haven't seen him around lately.

I manage to evince shock each time she informs me that he died almost two years ago in a grisly auto accident.

Lowbrow Three: (This one from a woman)

I get kind of tired of the tactless fools my husband works with, so I've quit being polite at gatherings. One jerk recently asked me how old I was. "Old enough to own a gun and be familiar with the legal system and still remember to take my medication" I told him.

After he figured out the big words, he left me alone.

Website Reco? Goldfish holding [Link] A quicktime movie where a goldfish tank (with goldfish inside) is gradually emptied of it's water, filled with Mountain Dew, gradually drained of that, then refilled with water and the goldfish is touched with a.... go watch it. It's kinda funny, partly interesting and mildly surprising.
