As stated in the Constitution, you legally know a lot about life when you turn 18. I assure you it says so in it; it's somewhere towards the middle. I know; I experienced a lot of it in the span of 2 weeks. And I'm here to educate the masses of NG members that actually know how to read (so about 3 or 4 people) some harsh lessons on life.
LESSON 1 - NEVER MOVE
I don't particularly mean don't move out when you're 18, just don't try to move as much at any age. Imagine ripping pieces of skin right off then prodding at your exposed torso; you envy that feeling when you're moving places I have 2 dilemmas to discuss about that. The first one was more recent. I moved 2 weeks ago, hence the reason I was off for quite some time (there was also a ban involved, but that's aside the point). I only had to move about 4 miles, but in that time, the following items have managed to be broken.
1 Television
1 PSP screen
1 Kitchen table
3 Glass pans
1 Pickup truck alignment
And of course, here's what has been fixed so far.
nothing.
Oddly enough, this would be the 2nd move I've made in about a year or so. The first was moving out to Los Angeles in the first place back 2 Septembers ago, but that move has somehow come back to hurt me. For some reason (for the wealth that owning a house brings I guess), my mom still owns the old shit shack we use to all home in Colorado. For the past few months, she's had to travel back and forth to assure that our house is still there. Last weekend, it was still there; but we were thankful to get a new sun roof and pool. Basic physics will tell you a couple of things.
1) Heat is transferred from a warm object to a cool object. There is no heat transfer in the absence of a warm or warmer object.
2) Cooling an object causes it to shrink and warming it causes it to expand.
Basically, not living inside of a house for 1-2 years in which you heat or keep warm causes cracks in the roof when snow lies dormant on said roof for a while and the same cold air can cause pipes to contract, then burst open when there's a sudden change in temperature (like -15° one day, then around 60° in the span of 3 or 4 days). Now she has to learn about dealing with insurance companies. But thankfully, here being gone leads to....
LESSON 2 - HAVING THE HOUSE TO YOURSELF OWNS
If you think you need to always be out and about, go choke. Just find a way to get your parents out the house. That or move out yourself, I really don't care which path you take. I swear, the freedom to listen to music without headphones, not holding in farts, and cooking burgers in the nude is something I suggest.. no, DEMAND you try.
warning; stand at least 5 feet away from cooking burgers
LESSON 3 - CABLE INTERNET > DSL
In the span of typing this, I've had to restart my modem 3 times already (I might add one or two when I finally press "post it"). The years in which I had Comcast, I had NO problems; none. At all. Ironic thing is that SBC, the DSL company I have now, merged with AT&T; otherwise known as Comcast, so I guess there's no escaping it.
LESSON 4 - TROPICANA FRUIT PUNCHES ARE GREAT
I'm drinking a cup right now. It's great. I just thought you'd like to know.
LESSON 5 - THE INTERNET CONSUMES A SHITLOAD OF YOUR LIFE
In the two weeks I was internetless, I learned to do so much, ended up doing a hell of a lot, and this was all in the span of 2 weeks. However, you cannot get so many BBS inside jokes and free porn in real life, so welcome back to the internet.
LESSON 6 - SOMEONE WILL ANSWER A QUESTION OR TWO THAT I HAVE
If anyone a bit skilled in Command Prompt, could they direct me to a quality codes and tutorial site? Not for shit like a DDoS, just something to use as a prank for school computers. If I can find something good, that can lead to LESSON 7 - SENIOR PRANKS ARE FUNNY AS HELL.
