Well there are really only 2 big regrets I have in my life. Of course there are the many small things that you regret that you wish you shouldn't have done like running around the house and knocking over ming vases or michevious stuff like that. I probally regreted alot of things I done when I was younger but of all of them these two things probally trouble me the most. They still do and sometimes I can't fall asleep because I regret and guilt over them.

Well lets start with the one that troubles me the most. I had a best friend named Peter Bunowich back when I still lived in Millwoods. the last time I saw him was the end of grade six just before I started junior high. I never kept in touch with him when I should of. He was the first friend that I ever made. I feel guilty that I never tried to keep this friendship. I always wondered what happened to him and it troubles me that I never found out. So what I'm going to do probally won't give me anything but I'll have to try anyway.



Well this is the newest picture I have of him. It's 13 years old and he probally doesn't look like this anymore. Yep I'm that bad a friend I don't even have a pictutre of him when I last saw him in grade six. Peter has brown hair and brown eyes. His dad is accountant and his mom is a stay at home mom. His mom also used to play softball. He has a younger brother named Drew. And if he is still the same as when he was a kid he is extremly intelligent. Yep I'm using this board to try and find my long lost friend again. It seems pretty pathetic right now but I don't really have many options. Hopefully you lurkers and random people who view this site can help me out. If you can't then its okay we probally weren't meant to see each other again anyways.

Peter Bunowich if you are reading this right now (hopefully) then I have to tell you that everything turned out fine for me. Despite how I write stuff down on this board I don't really have it all that bad. I'm a Mechanical engineering student at the University of Alberta and I'll be graduating this year. If you still want to talk to me despite how badly I treated you my e-mail address is shown above or you can phone me at (780)438-6414. I'm sorry for what I did and this apology is probally worth nothing but I really mean it. Thank you Peter for showing me what friendship really was, even when I'm old and dying I'll never forget the friendship you showed to me.

Eric: I can play the video files and I can edit them in NUENDO, but I can't fuckin save them!!! Plus, I can't install any software which would do the trick because I'm fuckin LOCKED OUT OF FUCKING ADMINISTRATIVE ABILITIES. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKK!!!!

what do you mean by that?

tomorrow I come clean on childhood regrets.

Actually, Edmonton's own Whitey Houston will be playing at SXSW this year too.

As much as I like DFA1979... I hope those two bands have a run-in and Whitey kicks the shit out of 'em. Good music, but those two are total panzy assholes and Whitey would work 'em... physically that is. Musically... it'd be pretty even methinks. Those DFA kids totally stole Lyle's bass sound (though I don't mean to imply they did it on purpose of course)...

You forgot the ALL AGES mark birtle's CD release the following day. I'm probably going to that one instead. I mean, I LOVE the Franklins, but this one has the Frosted Tipz AND Blacklisted AND Miss Mannered and it was SUPPOSED have the Wolfnote... but they had to bail... but it's also Mark Valley's (from Blacklisted) BIRTHDAY! In other words, he'll probably be drunk out of his mind, and he'll end up doing some crazy shit. Last show they played he put his head through the wall of the Shark Tank... and he was sober! I love that kid. This show is potentially looking to become one of the best shows of the year, and to think that the year's just started! Also, isn't the No Hands CD release tonight? I thought it was...

Perhaps I imply too much...

Admittedly, I wasn't entirely sure it was a joke until I got to the part I quoted. I think it's interesting though, how many parts of the review seem serious because they play on facts we take for granted about computers, simply because they exist in windows. (Like requiring anti-virus software, for example.)

I've wanted to flesh out my 'Windows-as-a-house' metaphor for some time (and I may actually get around to it one of these days), but it's useful to show that there's a lot that we take for granted on a computer that we wouldn't stand for in other circumstances. The example I used the other day was, if your house was like a Windows-based computer, every time you plugged in a new appliance, you'd have to kill the main circuit breaker. Not only is this a ridiculous proposition, it's a state of affairs that needs not exist, but does in Windows. (Even more ridiculous, I guess, is that after having had the breaker on for more than a day, your appliances would run more slowly and you'd have to reset the breaker to get them back at full speed.)

Oh, and the bullet link was a scraping from metafilter, much like the minimac review. I don't actively search out information on torpedoes, it finds me. (Yeah, that's the ticket.)
