In da Works

So I am sitting here this morning cause I forgot to turn on the dryer... Thats right I switched the laundry and cleaned the lint trap but forgot to turn on the stupid machine. So now I get to wait an extra 15 mins for all my work cloths to finish drying. So my kid is coming soon like 3 months soon. To which I was just complaining as everyone does and someone I knew told me to stop. That basically she had it harder than me so I needed to suck it up. Now I am not as religious as the rest of my family but I would like to reminder her that out our family she and I have come from very unstable families. The main point I would like to get across is that there is no harder for everyone's tasks and troubles are there for us because we are the only ones that can handle it. I love my wife very much but I know that if she had to go through and once of what I had to she would crush. Most kids that go through what I did turn to drugs and violence. My goal in life was to have a stable family and to never get divorced. Now that I have that I am working now towards my next goal, and it takes a lot of work and planning. In February if all goes to plan our next step in life will come.
I work the hours I work not because I have to or need to. Its the fact that if I want to more than get by then I have to put the effort forth.
I stand remembering my past so that my future will know.
I don't believe in being told what to do.
I don't believe that a god would not be less that caring no matter what religion you are
I believe that good people are good and bad are bad no matter what religion or politics or race
I believe that we all control our Fate.

Warning to expire

So my life pretty much got ruined... Yes I hate to say that even with all my computer nerdyness I could not prevent what happend to me at 5:03 am on 12-17-08.
I opened my email to print off something I needed to fax in for school when I saw this email.

This is a notice that the email address on your World of Warcraft account Valrauko has been changed.  If you did not request this change please fill out our Account Security/Compromise webform at http://us.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml.

If this change was intended please disregard this notice.

Thank you.

I was shocked as I hadn't changed my WoW account info. So I quickly filled out the form and changed my email password on my wife's lab top as I knew it was my desktop that was probably infected.

Well needless to say I now have to go fill out a giant forum and fax in a photo copy of my I.D. in order to try and retrieve my account. But I guess the one cool thing (if u call a game you have been playing for 2 years cool stolen) is that I found out that the estemated market vaule of my account is around $900.00!!!

Another interesting thing is I was surfing this morning and found this post on msn.com

Serious security flaw found in IE
A vulnerability has been discovered and the 27% of users of this site using Internet Explorer should probably install this hotfix as soon as possible.

From BBC.co.uk
The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.

Microsoft urged people to be vigilant while it investigated and prepared an emergency patch to resolve it. Internet Explorer is used by the vast majority of the world's computer users.

"Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer," said the firm in a security advisory alert about the flaw.

Microsoft says it has detected attacks against IE 7.0 but said the "underlying vulnerability" was present in all versions of the browser. Other browsers, such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, are not vulnerable to the flaw Microsoft has identified.

Browser bait
"In this case, hackers found the hole before Microsoft did," said Rick Ferguson, senior security advisor at Trend Micro. "This is never a good thing."

As many as 10,000 websites have been compromised since the vulnerability was discovered, he said.

"What we've seen from the exploit so far is it stealing game passwords, but it's inevitable that it will be adapted by criminals," he said. "It's just a question of modifying the payload the trojan installs."

"The message needs to get out that this malicious code can be planted on any web site, so simple careful browsing isn't enough."

So even though I already use firefox I ran all of my more extreme software protection and sure enough I found 3 files of a trojan and one JHack on my computer. I was able to remove them but this time I went ahead and bought a device called a Blizzard Authenticator. It is a USB device that will use a random generated code each time I log in to act as a second password. It is the highest form of security that blizzard can offer an account. (And it was only 6.50 with shiping and handaling)

Basicaly this post is to warn that if you are using IE please get firefox!!!

pushing

so yeah I havnt been bloging much cause I am busier than normal =D working and such. the job is great and I really enjoy doing it. I think I will be turning this into a career (Or I at least hope I get to stay with this for a couple of years)

I hear Greg and Jamie are talking to Randy about us coming up for thanksgiving. It sounds like fun, I hope it can happen.

As for living situations I found something out that I thought made me feel bad. I was talking to my Wife about us moving out of our in-laws place and getting our own (we have money saved up now and have been playing it safe with out money, even though we just got a new tv and wii)
After looking into it I found out that me and chrissy can rent a house (we dont have the credit to buy) So I found this one I liked alot and while me and her where arguing ...here is how the converstation went.

"We can't leave yet!" - C
"We are finacaly fine, we can handle it, we have *blank amount* Saved up and more in the checking... Rent prices are going down cause of the economy this place is nice and its affordable (its a place thats in the same housing area as our inlaws like a 10 min walk =P)"
"We can't leave yet!"
"Why?"
"I promised my dad we would stay till the end of the year."


So... I never knew about this arangement, It makes me upset that we are stuck here for a couple more months... but maybe not. I think a couple more months of saving couldnt hurt. But seriously can anyone blame me. I felt like a failure for living with them last time, then we got out and then I make a bad choice to work for my uncle who screwed me over and now I am here. Well I hope that in the future I will know about these kinds of agreements =/.

btw wii supersmash bros is fun.

btw again, wow expansion is coming out next month....

btw again again, Brandon sandersons mistborn series thrid book comes out today =D

dang and again, The sword of truth is now a tv show done by the guy who did spiderman, It starts showing nov. 1

thats all =D

GOT A job

So I just got an apprenticeship as an audio visual installer. So I get to learn the trade of installing home surround sounds, in-wall t.v.'s, and what not =), So its not Mill work but its something that I am not gonna frown about! Its kinda cool, (yes I know I will be up in hot stuffy attics) and I really like the idea of mixing my love of technology with construction work I have come to adore. =D

Well this shall be interesting! I start tomorrow! (oh and for Randy, YAY for no more bonanza!)

Very well then

things are looking up, I have an interview today so I hope that will turn over well. Its for something I would really enjoy working in, so I am gonna give it my best.

I would do a picture but I am busy multitasking a lot...

now your coming up with treason

not much to report here, looks like i might have a job working as a night auditor for best western =/ but hey it pays and it helps while i am in school...btw i need to talk to my enrollment counselor don't let me forget~!

Elitist Jerks

And that my friends my breakfast.
It all started when I got up this morning and went questing for food. At first I saw the tortillas and thought I can just make some breakfast burritos. So I wonder over to the pantry to find that we don't have refried beans for burritos but we did have chillie beans with meat. So I then spot the freitos and thus breakfast was born with a lil cheese to add.
So I was going though my high school blog posts and it seems I had a fetish with the word Plethora. I think its just because its one of those words that is just out right fun to say. Oh but on to what I was going to ask ( I get side tracked easily) While in preparation of my meal I hesitated as to which utensil to use. I am using a spoon but do most people use forks?

I hope some day to figure it all out.

On a lower (and sadder) note I don't think we will be able to see all the in-laws around thanksgiving or Christmas. Which is depressing because I find them a lot more like family than my own, (except for my mother but that's a complicated issue) I heard Steven talking to Randy and I think something might be set up for spring of next year. It would be nice to just see everyone again.

OH! On another note (this one much higher!) I have talked with the bishop and I seems that I am close to getting the Melchizedek (holy crap I love spellchecker). This is very exciting because I have tried to keep this quite from the family as I want to surprise everyone when I am ready to take Chrissy to the temple. (She deserves it and I wanna be what she deserves)

Well I have to finish getting ready, I have an another interview to go to.

thanks avid readers! (or reader as I am sure my sister in-law is probably the only one who reads my ramblings)

Slowly

Well today was a nice day, I wasn't nearly as stressed as I have been. It helps when you take a step back and look at all the positives in life. I am healthy, my wife is healthy, we still can eat (cheaply but still food none the less), etc. I just wanted to say that even though I still cant sleep I have managed to "Slow" down my panicked stress/depression. Out of me an my wife I am normally the majorly over optimistic one and its about time I get back to that. Well I am gonna try to go back to bed, I need to color in some more black.

Rain

I just want it to rain on me. I want to feel something right now, anything more than this. I feel like I am spiraling downward and each spin makes my stomach churn. I wanna see the darkness of the gray sky and feel its tears on my face.

Sorry if this sounds emo but I needed to vent.
