i want to say this is a generational thing but there are lots of older people on this forum that are thousands of times better with computers than i am so i really don't know what it is. i guess it's a thing of some kind, but what i'll never know.

My actual dayjob is tech support! I am very good at this and explaining it in very dumb terms. I've made a notebook with several instructions for simple things for my family's use. Whenever they ask me about something like this i point to the notebook and frown.

Dear blog thread,
It's 3 in the morning. I can't sleep.
My gay friend was just telling me how had a guy on MSN with a web cam doing whatever he wanted him to do. It was.. strange. Jake is so full of win.
He finds it funny how I can switch from Elliot Smith to Alice In Chains. Heh, I guess it would be to some.
OH GOD I AM SO BORED BUT THE SLEEP IS NOT COMING.
I've tried laying in my bed for a while and stuff but it didn't work.
So it is officially Christmas Eve. It's strange. Our house doesn't have decorations or anything. We just didn't do anything this here. We haven't had any Christmas spirit. It doesn't feel like Christmas at all. *sings Low* I hope my presents don't suck.
God jesus, I am so greedy. Here i am hoping my presents my don't suck when I didn't buy anyone anything over 10 dollars. I bet they all spent much more on me.
I remember last year my grandmother got me deodorant, body wash and a few packs of gum. My aunt got me a weird t-shirt that said Mom Likes Me Best. I'm not sure why. Not too sound like a whiny little bitch but I don't like Mom that much most of the time.
This was my fault but today she bitched at me because I do 'half-way jobs' on things. She yelled at me because the clothes that I folded weren't in the right rooms. I swear I don't understand her sometimes. OH GOD THE ANGST
Okay, we need to stop listening to Alice In Chains now. Let's listen to.... Sad Sappy Sucker.
Modest Mouse is amazing. This is my first time listening to this EP. Only yesterday, I downloaded their entire discography.
They have amazing album names. The Fruit That Ate Itself, Everywhere And His Nasty Parlour Tricks, Baron von Bullshit Rides Again. Seriously.
I'm going to read the topic summary.
I get roped into tech support too. I don't know why. I pretty much phail at computers. Well. Not really. I can fix some things.
My dad is like, "Jacob, the internet is slow."
I say, "I'm sorry."
He says, "Fix it."
I say, "How?"
He says, "I'm not sure. You can do it. You're good with computers."
I say, "Holy crap, this song is strange."
have any of you heard From Point A to Point B by Modest Mouse? The beginning is so awesome and random.
I'm going to stop talking now and try to sleep some more.
Goodnight.
tl;dr see: next actual post.

Thanks for posting!
Jacob, listen to the Lonesome Crowded West, thats one of my favorite Modest Mouse albums, also, in case you haven't already, go ahead and look up The Mountain Goats and The Arcade Fire. If you like Modest Mouse, you'll surely enjoy them.
It is Christmas Eve and I have about 5 hours to paint up my dad's present, I decided today "Holy shit, I should get my dad a present." I thought about painting a tank up like a Mustang GT (since I do 40k I have this shit lying around), but I need my tanks for my army, so it'll be just a regular marine painted up in the same colors as his car.
