that's Michelle's territory  
(please read this, it could impact you!)
That said, I got an e-mail from UTA today with this Crime Bulletin attached:
Date of Incident: 11-05-09
Time of Incident: Approximately 11:05 pm
Location: 700 S. Pecan St. – Intersection of W. 3rd St. and Pecan St.
Suspect: Suspect : African/American Male, 18 Y.O.A, 5’8” to 5’10” thin build, short hair, no facial hair, wearing
a black hooded shirt.
Suspect Vehicle 2000 to 2003 brown or tan GMC or Chevy truck, extended cab with extended bed, aftermarket
style tires and chrome rims, set higher than factory. Summary: Victim was walking in the 700 block of S. Pecan
St. at the intersection of 3rd Street when the listed vehicle stopped at the location of the victim. The suspect
vehicle was occupied by a total of four African American subjects. The listed suspect exited the rear seat of the
vehicle and asked the victim if he could use his cell phone to call someone for him. The victim dialed the number
and then handed the phone over to the suspect. The suspect spoke on the phone and then punched the victim in
the face with a closed fist. The suspect took the victim’s phone and left the scene in the truck with the
other subjects.
This is probably just the white dude in me, but if I saw a chromed out anything coming my way in
Arlington AT THAT HOUR, the only number I'd be pre-dialing is Arlington police.
Secondly, I think you should be able to carry small weapons on the streets around UTA, it's not the safest
campus, and this isn't the first robbery, it is however the most dickfaced one so far. The other one involved two
black guys jumping an asian in the bookstore parking lot stealing his laptop.
Did you know it's legal to carry riffles in public? So I was thinking, that black dude, hell even all the people in the car,
would have probably kept driving, if that victim had had an AK slung over their shoulder. I think a lot less people
would be getting fucked with if Arlington citizens quit fucking around and turned it into Mogadishu already!
I know I'd feel a lot more confident in walking around ALONE late at night in Arlington
if I had 30 rounds of crime stopper loaded in my gun.
ALSO,
Effective February of this coming year 2010, Credit Card Companies can eat a dick.
Have you ever opened your statement to see a whopping $40.00 "over limit fee" ?
I know I have, and I'm sure you've said something along the lines of "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT!?"
So, I open my statement today and I'm like, yep all seems in order, then at the bottom there's this over the limit
charge, and I'm PISSED THE FUCK OFF. So I call up Capital One and after navigating the extensive menu, I
get to some Punjabi woman, probably outsourcing! lol, j/k but seriously, voice as quiet as a mouse and with
accent thick enough to float on.
She educates me on the finer principals of credit card payments and charges, more specifically about how when
you make a payment, your bill continues to climb unabated from the point they mail the stetment to the point your
check arrives at their processing center. Which can be up to 20 days, effectively nearly a month.
Long story short, new legislation is in the works to stop this over-limit shit from happening. Effectivly, if you're
approaching your credit card limit, and are about to make a purchase that would push you over your limit, the
transaction will be halted. Thus eliminating the possibility of an overcharge fee! HOORAY.
I of course understand that in some cases going over the limit might be a dire necessity, like for gas, a plane ticket
home, or strippers. BUT for an not so rich, unemployed college student, getting a $40.00 overlimit fee for a
$6.00 Subway sandwich, is HORSE SHIT.

| The Missing Link
For me, the "missing link" was really this mysterious 30ish GB's of disk space that I simply could not account for. This issue has plagued me for over a year, but today I figured it out!!!
The Culprit? PHOTOSHOP!
That's right, this harmless little program, has this thing called a scratch disk, which is basically virtual memory for Photoshop, in the form of your hard drive. Anyways, this little known hide out worked as a perfect scratch disk for Photoshop and tormentor for me. THANKS PHOTOSHOP! 
Also, the spike hair is back, it's a sign of hope for the return of long hair. Fall is on and Winter is fast approaching, I've got basically 4 months to get it out and long.
