They've Found Survivors! Unbelievable as it may seem, 5 firefighters have been found alive in the wreckage of the World Trade Center! They were buried in an SUV for the past 3 days! It's brought new hope that more may still be alive! Congratulations to the rescuers and god-speed in the their continuing heroic task!

Yesterday was a really bad day for me. I had a horrible day at work and I went home to have an even worse evening on the computer. To top it all off, I was horrendous to my best friend online last night. We were playing CounterStrike, which is what I've been doing in the evenings, and I just couldn't play worth shit. I suppose I have to expect that since it was my first time in a big server and playing with a large group of people. Janell thought it would help to blow peoples brains out, but it didn't. Instead it just made me more frustrated and pissy. Finally I just got so frustrated I wound up dropping, only to find Janell had dropped before.

This morning, I woke up to a few ICQs which I have yet to respond to. (Sorry, guys.) Janell is really pissed with me now, and I'm not really feeling much better about it either. But today doesn't look much different. I've already been called by my second job that we are WAY behind schedule and he's getting REALLY pissed. And my first job is entering into some serious legal shit that could close the company! ARGH! Somedays just totally suck.

Well I guess I can rule out the fact of me not knowing the map. Just played Dust2 tonite which is the same map I was doing good on last night. But tonite I totally sucked. So, Blitz, I guess you got your revenge. :)

I'm looking into a new comments system. The one I've got now is ASP based and okay. But without comment counts, it really is kinda hard to track them from the main page.

My eyes were awakened to the sheer crappy way I play CS. I was horrible tonight. What can you expect from my first time in a large server? Of course it didn't help that I didn't know the maps either. BlitzKrieg and Female Assasin were both rocking though, and of course it all took place on FragDad (status). I guess I just need LOTS more practice. Guess I'm not as good as I thought I was. Either that, or Blitz was just REALLY suckin' BAAAD last night! :)

How you can help...There are many ways we all can help in the efforts in New York and Washington. Some already being suggested are Give Blood or make donations. Two electronic relief funds have already been set up online and are ready to take your tax-deductable donations. Either at Amazon or Paypal. To give blood, call your local Red Cross branch office or 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to schedule an appointment. Or you can call America's Blood Centers at 1-888-BLOOD-88. Blood and platelet donors will be needed desparately over the next few days to help replenish our nation's blood and platelet supply.

On happier notes, I'm getting better at playing CounterStrike. (Whether it is quite ethical to be playing a game where Terrorism & Counter-Terrorism are such an integral part, I'll leave to you.) But on the plus side, I was totally whipping some people's asses tonite. :) I won't mention who or what the score was (I promised not to on my site), but suffice it to say, I'm getting better. Granted some tactics I still don't have down. And unfortunately, they are kinda the important ones. Like running for cover when under fire, getting out of the way of grenades or flash-bangs, or just generally re-loading the gun! But hey, that's what practice is for.
