Duplicity™

  • Jul. 3rd, 2009 at 2:49 PM
vu
Let's face it. There are only a certain possible combination of melodies and chords. Music is bound to be duplicated. Here is an example I came across today. I was listening to Athenaeum's (fomerly Collapsis) "What I Didn't Know", and everytime I heard the chorus, I was reminded of this rock song I heard many years ago. I didn't know what the hell the other song was called, but the more I heard the chorus, the more I heard this song. So I tried google, bing, and yahoo searching for "Money's alright". Except, the reason I couldn't find it, was that the chorus is "mommy's alright... daddy's alright..."

So, here you go. Here are the two tracks side by side:
Athenaeum's "What I Didn't Know" vs. Cheap Trick's "Surrender"

No, really. I slept almost 12 hours last night, and now I just want to go home, and pass the fuck out. But a bunch of my friends want to hang out, and tonight is really the only open day I'm going to have since the company picnic is tomorrow and the play is Sunday in Prince Frederick, MD.

Upcoming Birthday

me ugh
Ugh. Alright, so I guess I'm begging here...

But if anyone out there wants to make me feel super special, and has a little loose change to throw around, I really need to advance my career. My birthday is July 26th, and I think more than anything, this is what I could definitely use well into the future, even after I obtain my certs.

This is my wishlist of all the study guides I'd like to buy (but currently can't) to obtain various certifications. If you are so inclined, I'd greatly appreciate it.

But, don't feel bad. We're all broke. It's the thought that counts :)

Yeah, so I didn't sleep well last night. I tried working out to this aerobic video for the first time, and, well, now my ankle hurts. :( But, at least I got some exercise in, finally. So I kept tossing and turning all night because the pain would wake me up. But I also had to be up at 4am this morning to meet a client.

I am in an excellent mood!

Anyway... this is hilarious:

Background: If you're a Sirius Satellite Radio subscriber, you used to be able to listen online for free as part of your subscription. This was very handy if you didn't want to have to set up a second dock in your office for your radio; you could just go to Sirius.com, enter your username, and password, and stream most of their music, talk, news, and comedy stations right on your computer. It was so convenient and, I thought, a very kind gesture to their loyal customers.

Maybe six months to a year ago, I saw an offer to "upgrade" my listening experience online to "premium" sound quality (128kb) for only $2.99 a month. I thought, "Sure, why not try this. I don't mind throwing a little extra money at Sirius, they're really great! And, if I don't like it, or feel it's not worth paying for, I'll just downgrade and revert back to my "basic" internet quality.

Well, I wish I could tell you that the premium sound quality sounded as good as any other internet radio station streaming at 128kbps. It didn't. In fact, I couldn't notice any difference at all. But, I kept giving Sirius the extra $3 anyway for a few months. A few days ago I called into customer care to discontinue my premium internet subscription. I wanted to just revert back to the standard subscription. The rep asked why, and I said I couldn't tell a difference between the premium and the standard. The rep thanked me, and disconnected the call, revoking my premium subscription.

So, today I tried to log in and stream Hits 1, only to find out that Sirius has changed the rules of the game, unannounced to me. You can now only stream their programming on the internet if you pay the premium subscription fee. They no longer include any streaming access with your subscription for your radio. I didn't get a letter or an email, and the rep didn't notify me of this change and try to keep my subscription active.

Feeling like the company has turned its back on its subscribers, I sent the following to Sirius Customer Care:
I recently removed my premium subscription to Sirius Internet Radio because I couldn't tell a difference between the premium quality and what I had before, and I didn't want to pay the extra $2.99 a month for something I only use rarely when I'm at my office. I listen to my Sirius radio in my car all the time when driving (and I drive a lot).

So when I downgraded, it wasn't until today that I found out Sirius had changed its rules regarding internet radio: it is no longer included with your subscription, even at the "basic", non-premium bitrate.

Well, that's lovely. I don't recall getting an email or a letter saying your policy was changing and you were no longer including internet streaming with a radio subscription.

I'm disappointed that Sirius has made this move. I've been a faithful subscriber for many, many years, with minimal service interruptions. I've been enjoying nearly every channel Sirius offers, but this has left a very sour taste in my mouth. I understand charging subscribers who want to upgrade the sound quality of the internet stream, but charging all your current customers to listen to a lower quality stream? It just seems trite.

Thanks for listening,

The Death of Common Sense

  • May. 28th, 2009 at 9:56 AM
pentagram star
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.

Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap,and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son Reason.

He is survived by his 4 step brothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.

How many mp3s does one need to have before it's too much of a collection? *sigh* Its to the point that now I can't properly keep it managed because I'm downloading more (or quicker) than I can organize and tag them properly. If it weren't for Winamp's Media Library, I'd never be able to find anything. But, I know I have a ton of duplicates and I need to weed the lower quality tracks out of there.

Oh well.

By the way, in case you are curious, I'm at about 57,000 mp3s. That doesn't count my karaoke tracks, music vidoes, tv shows, or dvd rips.

So after some debugging, and switching from a network bridge to Internet Connection Sharing, I am successfully able to hijack my neighbor's wireless for internet at my house. I'm streaming my station now without any interruptions, whereas with the bridge it was dropping out every three to five minutes or so... so annoying.

Now everything is working great!

I installed some network runs in my house and the phone system is up and running at both offices and at my house. :D

I can't help but feel a little successful, even with the technical bugs we're working on.

Looking forward to the weekend, and to May 7th when I can legally drive again.

Yay. I was able to hijack some wireless in my neighborhood. WOOT! Hope it lasts...

And, for those of you looking for some background music to stream at work, or who were fans of b961.com... check it out:

Fire1000.com

You'll need Winamp, its the easiest way to get connected to the stream. If you already have it installed, Click Here to start listening.

This stream runs 24/7 non-stop. Its the same thing we use for our hold music, which is why I'm able to run it from work :P And, yes, I have it playing all day long at work because I have to keep an eye on it. This is mostly tracks from the 80s, 90s, and currents all mixed together with NO interruptions whatsoever. You won't hear anything other than music... EVER (again, because it streams into our phone system).

For [info]bobbysan and others...

So from the events that transpired this morning it is clear that I have a few issues with authority, and that for some reason I override the voice that should be telling me "are you sure you want to do/say this?" and do or say it anyway.

Its not only here, it happens in real life sometimes. Usually it only happens when I feel tired or I feel cornered (such as under a deadline). Many other people I've encountered don't seem to have this problem. In fact, one of my new friends [info]mjames126 seems so laid back that I don't think a fire could cause him to raise his voice. (By the way, Mike, that was a compliment. Please don't be offended).

The point is, how do I work on becoming laid back and stop flying off the handle claws and teeth bared? Is it because I always feel inferior to others? Is it because somehow I feel defective and damaged and so I try to overcompensate with anger and wrath?

Yet, there are times when I've remained calm and collected, and not escalated a situation. During a bar fight, for instance. Sure, I'm shaking inside as well as outside, you can tell it because my arms are shaking, my legs are shaking, I'm biting my lip. But I'm not saying or doing anything. I'm letting you call me every name in the book and turning my back to you; packing up my DJ equipment, because I don't want the situation to escalate.

Maybe it is because the internet is in near-real time. Maybe its because I don't think about getting up, walking away, and coming back to continue a conversation until I've had a chance to think about what I want to say. Instead, its just raw, unfiltered, directly into the keyboard. Maybe its because I want to "look cool" to others who might read my content.

Who knows. All I know is that looking back on the events of this morning it was childish, not to mention pathetic that I couldn't control my emotions better.

Maybe its because I hate to say "I'm sorry" or admit that I might be the one actually over-reacting.

Please make a note of the change :) Your friends list *should* have automatically updated and brought you here.

Since I first started on the 'net back in the early nineties, I never was good at picking an "alias". One of the first places I "discovered" on our trusty dial-up connection was gay chat rooms. There was a user there with the name "gay guy". I know original. I decided that an awesome username for me would be gguy2 (gay guy 2). That's how I arrived at my AOL Instant Messenger username. However, I soon realized that gguy2 would not be appropriate for everything, say... the email address I had to give teachers in high school to send homework to (however I was out by then so it wouldn't have been a big deal).

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I've never understood the alias aspect of the internet world. There are some great ones out there, but I'm just too lazy to have an "online personality" wildly different from my own.

So, cjkline83 was born back in the late 1990s. Its a compound of my real name Curtis Jason Kline, and the year of my birth, 1983.

When I came to livejournal, I'm not sure what I thought when I signed up as ckline. This is the only place my username isn't cjkline83... until today. Same drama-filled journal entries, and now the same username I use everywhere else.

Einstein's Problem

  • Feb. 20th, 2009 at 12:53 AM
dance magic dance
I just spent 20 minutes solving this problem. Can you? Tip: Get out a lot of paper.... make diagrams of what you know and use deductive reasoning from there.

 Einstein's  Problem

The author of this problem is Albert Einstein who said that 98% of the people in the world couldn't solve it.

   Facts:
1. There are 5 houses (along the street) in 5 different colors:
      blue, green, red, white and yellow.
2. In each house lives a person of a different nationality:
      Brit, Dane, German, Norwegian and Swede.
3. These 5 owners
drink a certain beverage:
      beer, coffee, milk, tea and water,
smoke a certain brand of cigar:
      Blue Master, Dunhill, Pall Mall, Prince and blend,
and keep a certain pet:
      cat, bird, dog, fish and horse.
4. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.
 Hints:
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house (next to it).
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water.


Now... WHO KEEPS FISH?

I'm pretty sure while I was sleeping, my brain and body had a bit of a fight.

Body: Sup, Brain?
Brain: Oh, Christ! Really? What the fuck did you do this time?
Body: Some Jaeger, some pot, some shots of vodka, some miller lights...
Brain: OH FUCK! Why must you do this to me? I'm ATTACHED TO YOU, YOU KNOW...
Body: I know... fun, ain't it?
Brain: *sigh*
Body: *nudge*
Brain: *Pout*
Body: *impish grin*
Brain: Fine. Look. I won't fight you on it this time, lets just have angry make up sex...

Yep... my body fucked my brain. How do I know this? Because I woke up on the other side of the bed from where I initially laid down to go to sleep (this never happens), and the covers were all disheveled and thrown in the middle of the bed, and I was still wearing my shoes.

11. All that time I was searching, nowhere to run to
12. Chestnut hair with just a touch of gray
13. I wanna know... who ever told you I was letting go?
14. How can it be permissible? She compromised my principle
15. It's close to midnight, something evil's lurkin' in the dark
16. I was so high I did not recognize the fire burning in her eyes
17. I’ve heard people say that too much of anything is not good for you baby
18. I sometimes wonder why, all the flowers have to die.
19. Baby's black balloon makes her fly
20. Baby, baby, when I called you on the phone today

So... anyone else think This is a really bad idea?

There's a reason I don't carry 1,000s of CDs around anymore and instead bought a head unit that talks directly to my iPod so I don't have to take my eyes off the road to switch entire albums. Who wants to carry around all these tiny ass very easy to lose cards with their music on it?

Estimated time til failure? 2010.

The Saga is Over

  • Nov. 20th, 2008 at 12:16 PM
i love cops
At around 10am this morning I was awarded probation before judgement on the final outcome of events that have been transpiring since May of 2008. Its been a long stressful journey, and now it is over with the expception of unsupervised probation. Until November 20th of 2009 I must keep clear of all trouble and comply with all laws or I will risk revoking my probation and going to jail and paying more fines.

In all it has been a very humble journey. Out of any problems I've faced before in the past, these were the most serious and careless ones. I hope that the experiences I've had to go through these past few months and the changes I've attempted to make in my life will not be long forgotten. I don't know if the stress factor will go down or not. If it doesn't, I may need to seek professional help. I'm snapping a lot at people, getting overwhelmed very easily at work. Sometimes its like I can't even breathe. I can't handle changing tasks very well, and my job kind of requires it. I don't think I'd call it anxiety, just general overall lazyness. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm single again. I can't even pinpoint a single thing that makes me feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells.

I'm going out to celebrate tonight. Its the end of a chapter in my life that could have been avoided. In fact, everything that happened to me thus far I could have prevented. Walking away from this whole process has left me with one definitive thought: the future is the one you create. I know that's cliche' and hippy or whatever, but its true. I could sit here and piss and moan about how stacked the deck is against me, or I could get in the game and at least give it an honest effort. When I go out on the weekends, I will alreadly know how much I'm going to drink, how I'm getting home, or where I'm sleeping it off without driving. In the past I left fate up to a game of roullete. Whatever happened, happened. Now, I no longer am so willing to give up control of my destiny.

Sure, all these words sound really nice, but it takes a lot more than that to make it work.

I don't really have much to talk about; or rather, much that I feel would be entertaining enough for you to sit through reading and post a comment. I've successfully pulled one week off of working two jobs. Its nice being distracted and all, but it makes me really tired. All I can do now is work, and sleep. I have a bad feeling that this is going to cause me severe depression from losing social opportunities. I'll try to manage this though.

My DUI trial is three days from today, on Wednesday 10/01/2008. My Driving While Revoked DUI trial is 10/22/2008. I don't really care what they do to me at this point. Really. Lock me up, let me go, I'm just tired of the whole fucking process. I'm in that space again, where I feel that everything I've done and try to do is always a very complicated experiment in failure. Somehow I need to find out how to be content with myself as being single, overweight, and whatever else I feel is wrong with me in societies eyes.

Sure, I'll smile to your face and be happy about it; but inside I'm slowly dying. Its like I'm withering from the inside out. And one day I'll just be dust. Its a really toxic place to be and I hate that I keep finding myself here.

What I need is friends to support me, but even if they were here, what would I say to them? Why should I depend on someone else to heal me? It isn't their responsibility to fix what's been broken for years, and even if it were, I wouldn't know what to say to them so that they could help me.

So here I go again, another week of working two jobs, sleeping when I can, and still not having enough money to fix my issues overnight. The long hard road has begun and I hope to God I can walk it without falling.

Bitterness

  • Sep. 17th, 2008 at 3:18 PM
pentagram star

Alright. I've pretty much chalked it up that I'm going to spend the remainder of the day being bitter, and I hate that I can't walk away from such a childish emotion. I mean, honestly, the breakup was mutual. Maybe I'm pissed that I couldn't man up sooner and break up with him first. Whatever the case, I think the reason I'm so bitter now is how quickly he moved back to that bitch who was in the psych ward. You know, the one that was trying to manipulate him into staying another day in Cumberland after he left me hanging by promising him oral sex?

Yeah. I'm a little fucking pissed. I have a feeling they had a date or something shortly before he called to break up with me, and she convinced him that he would be better off with her.

Actually, they're both a perfect match. They're both highly unstable and so fucked up and crazy that I'm glad not to be a part of it anymore.

Perhaps the most bittering thing is knowing that I let myself be used, and that I was totally okay with it. I kept trying to make our "relationshit" into something more than it really was, always.

I guess I need to just become as shallow and jaded as everyone else and the minute things aren't going my way I'll just have to dump your ass.

Loyalty is for suckers.

God I am so fucking bitter and I hate it. I'm clinging to the emotion because for once I'm actually feeling something other than nothing at all. You have no idea how much I hate myself for doing that, for reveling in this shitty emotion.

I just hope its gone by the time the weekend hits. I hate drinking when my head is in a fucked up place... its not a good combination.

Oh, did I mention I made this when we were having trouble six months into our relationshit?


1 Year, 4 Months... WASTED.

Myspace is fucking evil.

I’d say “I wish you all the best”, but I’m too busy throwing up.

So, it turns out that you only broke up with me because you had something better lined up all along.

I can’t say I expected anything lower from you, but it makes your “sugarcoating” taste like piss now. Couldn’t just tell me the truth and I have to learn it like this?

*sigh* Nothing changes. And staying friends? Yeah, I don't see that happening. It is hard enough trying to have a friendship with Mike, and you're really not worth the effort.

So again "Best of--"*vomit*

in which all the jokes I think are HILLARIOUS are probably quite lame, but whatever.

Posted by a user in [Bad username: ”unsentletters”] (and no, it WASN’T me):
dear mike,
you are the only person who's ever made me feel beautiful.
i wish i knew where it all went wrong.

Answer(s):
- When you got fat
- When you got your period the first time with him
- When he turned gay
- When he went blind


I’m sure there are more, but I’m going to bed now.

Metallic:

Maybe its just me. I don’t get it. Why do people LOVE your music. You can’t really sing-ah. It sounds like you’re taking a crap and its really hard to get out after every phrase you mutter through unmusically. The guitar playing is good, but your drums in this song? lame. Sounds like you hired a retard to bang on them at 120bpm.

Are you making a record, or having a seizure?

Honestly. I’d like to know. And, to think, you sued Napster.

It was because no one was gonna pay $21 for shitty music like this.

Really.

Come on now.

Just give up.

No love,
Curtis

Recovering Lost Friends

  • Sep. 15th, 2008 at 10:57 PM
as you wish
Shannon, you probably remember Chuck; the martial-arts bouncer from the sunset. We left on slightly bad terms nearly two years ago. Motherfucker found me on myspace and called me up.

Don’t worry though; he’s still not gay, and I don’t need to be jumping into a relationship. He said that the reason he stopped talking to me was that I kept hitting on him. I really don’t remember doing anything like that though... at least not in the end. I remember a few times when I blacked out at the bar or something, but we’re both treating it as water under the bridge.

Anyway, we just had a 40 minute phone call. It amazes me sometimes how easy it is to pick up where you left off with someone after that much time passes.

Oh, and Shannon? Tomorrow night. Your house. I’m so there, even if I have to walk. ;)
