Some people read newspapers in the morning, I read my PC's startup texts.

Yay I get to write something new today. Yesterday I opened my blog telling you about the origins of my nickname, and the name of the blog itself. I also mentioned something about my reading hobbies and kept on babbling mindlessly about computer games.

I considered writing about one of those things to you today, but I thankfully realised that maybe reminicing isnt always the answer. So i'll tell you about my great morning

I woke up at around 9 am today, and started my morning ritual, which I try to do regardless of where I actually have to be in the next hour or so. I walk straight to my PC and start to bathe in the mindnumbing agony which is the boot-up sequence. I mean, once you have had the same installation of windows running on your computer for more than two years, your computer will be slow. I hate formatting... even if it would actually take only a few minutes. WHY CANT THIS START UP ALREADY?!

While my pc was loading I head to the kitchen and grab myself an energy drink. Here in finland, if you're a serious nerd, you can't be caught drinking anything other than Battery. So i happily pop the can open and dig in. The wonderful feeling of this piss-colored beverage running straight into my stomach engulfs me, and for a moment I forget all about being annoyed about my pc's slow startup.

And finally, the computer has actually managed to turn on windows, so I type in my password and try to open my browser, clicking way too many times on the icon, actually so often that my cursor freezes up. But i forgot that at this point the computer still takes a few minutes to realise that it's job is to do what i tell it to. See, it wants to load msn messanger, and for some reason it takes 2 minutes or more to do that. Why does everything microsoft produces stink of pure uselessness? You know, sort of like a lada.

Okay hey, my cursor moves again! Oh right, now it wants to load the browser up 14 times since i clicked that icon so often. Dammit, more slowness. Okay great, i've spent close to 10 minutes of my time just trying to get to surf the net quickly before i leave for school. I have to leave in another 10, crap! I dont have time to read em all.

Okay okay, yay, I now have succesfully shut down 13 browser windows, leaving one for use. Off to the first of my many morning-reads. http://www.arseblog.com/ is my opening site. Since im an avid Arsenal FC fan (it's a football team, you know, soccer) it's nice to start my day with the writings of someone who actually wakes up alot earlier than you, just to write something about football.

Now after reading arseblog I turn to blueshirt bulletin which is currently reporting on my favorite ice hockey team's progress. These guys really know what they're doing, so it's always a very informative read.

Jeebus christ! Time's up, i should already be in my car. Hurry hurry hurry, oh wait I forgot to dress too!

Okay, this wasn't the most informative post, it was just my morning today. By the way, I left that battery can open my desk for the whole duration of my schoolday. I return home to realise I only took one sip of it. Brilliant... maybe janne will drink room-temperature-warm battery.
