iPods suck almost as much as Pa

I am at this very moment talking to my good friend conal on MSN and he is harping on about how great his broadband is. Pity he knows nothing and soon his computer will crash and BURN. I sometimes think that people should not just be allowed get a computer, its like being a parent. People get a new computer and then fill it full of crap, never clean it, never immunise it, let it hand around bad crowds with no protection and let it get slow and stupid. I mean the first thing you should do with a new computer is get an anti-virus and get free internet downloads like Adaware and Spypot, i have not gotten any spyware or pop-ups since last Christmas. And even if once a month they clean and defrag their hard-drive then their computer will last for ageslonger and they wont have to run off to Daddy to get a new one after a few short irritating months.

My brother asked me today why did i not do computer since i can fix most of the bugs that pop up at home but to be honestI actually hate the things though. I spent hours tonight trying to get my sisters iPod up and running before she headed off to Australia tomorrow. TO be fair to her she spent two hours on her own before i came home trying to crack it. That in itself was quite unusual because i am usually the one who does computer stuff in the house but she did everything that i would have done and still no avail. Still i came home and then tried to sort it out, computers are shit, the internet was acting up, as was my computer plus the home computers and the software was manky. I wont even try to explain but i would not reccommend an iPod to anyone, you can get Creative ones that are much easier and more friendly to use. It took more than three hours to change my songs to iPod format as well. Long story short i managed it in the end but now my eyes are killing me from staring at a computer screen and my testicles have been microwaved all evening so no chance of kids for me.

Ya my sis is heading off for a year tomorrow, its weird cuz i have only been back from America little more than a month. We had a big 'Christmas' dinner yesterday cuz it was her birthday and none of us were going to be around for Christmas anyway so we got the Turkey and ham and stuff and had a big gettogether with all the aunts and uncles. Twas a good night, even though all my relatives live in Limerick i do not get to see them all that often, i have not seen my aunt since Christmas. Tonight we just had a closer family sit-in and just messed around and cursed iPods. It will be sad to see her go but if everything goes according to my master plan then she will only be back a month or two next year before i head off on my travels. I think i have gotten much more used to not seeing people for extended periods at this stage. The world is small and we have plenty of time to see people. Rachel our British friend that we met in New Paltz came over on Tuesday and stayed one night before heading home and Liam will be going over to visit her soon as well. I will see them in the future and if you stay in touch then there is no problem. On that note i will of cours ebe ringing my favourite New Zealand girl soon so she need one worry.

The problem wiht not blogging a lot is that there are too many things to talk about when you do, i could write about how i am trying to start a capoeira club in UL at the moment, or Liam and Owen's class Halloween party or Rachels visit but it is late and i am tired so they will have to be described by personal request. I must off to bed be, a shout out to negro-nose in Dublin and to all ye plebs who live through my blog. ...man i'm down with the lingo
