GBJazzMan

Hello Internets,

Perhaps you're wondering what has happened to the Jazz Man. What he's been up to and what hijinks he's been performing in the last little while.

If you want, you need a dose of the Jazz Man, I'll tell you what, you're not gonna get it here.

This Journal's basically dead. But the Jazz Man is not, and he understands that literally dozens of people may care about what he had for lunch on Tuesday. Or not.

Anyway, check out the Hoobablog for great justice.

Also, the forums

The forum moved again, because my old host are being douches

New Episode of the Hoobajoob Report, comin' at ya!

The Hoobajoob Report

Yeah, me, Matt Latham, and Internet Safety Rob finally did the podcast. Because we like to talk and everyone's doing it.

I really can't stand not being able to sleep. I mean, sometimes I wish my head would just shutup with random thoughts so I could get some sleep at a decent time.

So I'm doing some cleaning, right? Well, I decide to scrub down the catch basin for my bonsai, because it's friggin' gross. As I'm cleaning it, I get a smell which I haven't smelt in quite some time. The I-House kitchenette. Kinda cool and kinda gross all at the same time.

I don't think webcomics get any better than when Brent from PVP gets attacked by a panda

So I'm bored on Christmas Eve because I'm too wired on Caffiene (which I ingested to combat the sleepyness from my cold meds) to goto sleep. So I decided to go through Facebook and tell it how I know everyone. So I get to Wass and then thing went crazy go nuts.



So either Facebook doesn't like the fact that I know Wass through Doty or I've stumbled across uber secret code that will allow me to get a new high score!

No one else will probably find this funny, but I know I do.

Once in a being's life, one must ask oneself a hard question, one that the fate of one's future could balance. To some, it's "Do I want kids?" or "What college should I goto?" For me, it was "Is loosing my job and getting sued worth hitting that idiot in the back of the head with cookie dough."

Common sense prevailed.

Anyway, I'm going to be building/scavanging a new gaming rig and I'm open to suggests (please no "Buy a Mac/Sun/Amiga roflol!!1!" comments). I've got HDDs, DVD-Rom and burner, sound and maybe graphics for the machine. So I need mobo, proc, ram (you can never have too much ram) and case(because my current one makes me want to hit things. with a brick). And maybe a graphics card. I'm not entirely sold on reusing my current vid card. So I'm open to suggestions and ideas. I'm going to be using AMD related products and if I reuse the Vid card, it's AGP 8, so that's a requirement.

Basically, I'm willing to pay $300-$500 so I can playing Half-Life 2 and not have it wtfsuck.

The laptops working and I've got a shiny new 17 inch LCD monitor with only 1 dead pixel. Booyah.

After I got out of Shaps tonight, I noticed my Front-Drivers tire was flat. So I went to the Meijer Gas Station to put air in it. And Air would not go into it. Turns out, the pump was broken. So a the battle moved to the Mobil Station across the street and after Doty let me bum $.50, I now have air in my tire.

I found the remote for my TV. Victory is mine.

Okay, I still have 1 out of 4(nerd!) computers working, but now it's a different one. My media dump is having IDE issues. I don't know if its the IDE channels or the ribbons or what, but now it's not working. Awesome.

On the bright side, I've got a keyboard that doesn't suck. And FYI, until I get my laptop working again, GBJazzMan will be the aim name to get ahold of me with.

The NFL Fedex and the NFL Network Big Man Dance Challenge commericals make me laugh. They just had one of the NFL Network where some Chicago Bear d-lineman were dressed up like Napolean Dynomite. Very funny.

Lauren's party was fun, but I should have gotten some sleep. Work yesterday kinda sucked because of it.

So I'm kinda nervous about the future. And I'm not sure about what.

When it comes to computer problems and me, when it rains it poors. Saturday, I had 4 working computers (Chiyo-chan, the laptop, Pintor 2, the gaming rig, chris-clark, the linux box and Snowdonia, the media dump.). Currently, I have 1 computer working, Snowdonia. The laptop's harddrive took a shit and either the KVM or monitor for the other two died. So until further notice, if you want to get ahold of me, I've dusted off the SN gbjazzman. But have pactiance with me, this keyboard is tiny, so I'm basically learning to type all over again.

As many of you might know, the last nine months have been rough for me, and I was at my wits end. Well, I decided to help.

In August, I went to my cousin Beth's wedding on the west side of the state. Well, sometime between leaving the service (which I took lots of neat photos at. I think the love of photography is a genetic trait) and the reception, I got sick. Really sick. So I went to the doctor when I got back and she was concerned with my mental health. So for a month I tried a mild antidepresiate, which didn't work to well. So I'm going to a therapist.

I've been fighting depression for atleast 4 years, maybe longer. Not surprising really, seeing as tho my dad and aunt suffer from it. I don't know why I'm typing this, but it does feel good to get it off my chest. Am I good, no, but I am getting better.

I still work at Meijer, and it still sucks. If you want to know my day was, and I'm working, assume it sucked, especially around this time of year.

Besides that same old same old with me, just thought I'd let everyone know I'm alive and whatnot.

I know a bunch of you have wondered where I've been, but not a whole has happened. Work and the like. I'm posting this mainly for the benefit of everyone who post on my messageboard.

We've had some problems with a hacker (14 year old with a very small penis) the last couple of days and I moved the board to deal with said problem. The new link is hoobajoobfaq.org/forums. Update your bookmarks accordingly.

That being said, anyone who signed up with the old board and never posted or was meaning to sign up and never, now's your chance. We're always looking fresh faces on the board.

::Insert stupid quiz here that got farked::

It was all your fault, Evan. Or atleast that's what the quiz said.

Okay, here's the dealie-oh. Jick finally implemented ascension. So, KoL is fun again!

Anyway, I'm asking that all of you who are members of Clan Hoobajoob please log in every once in a while so your accounts don't get deleted for inactivity. That is, if you still want to play.

For example, if you ascend a certian way, you can wear shirts!

Some links for ya.

Man, I forgot how damn fun this stuff is. I should go back through the books my dad has.

My friends are weird. This sketch took me 10 minutes, tops, to draw, and good deal of that the jackass in the center's thumbs up.
