Want to get into rollerblading, have been doing tons of research on equipment, cause i know not everything is built the same. Ordered a helmet lastnight and ordered some protective padding today. Ordered those online cause they are way too overpriced in retail stores.

Going to get the skates IRL, lots of sporting stores here in minneapoils, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Isn't MN rated one of the healthiest states? It's up there, I know. Plus, given all the lakes I'm sure there are a load of 'blading stores. Don't forget your spray cans!

got the rollerblades today

definitely gotta wait for the protective gear to arrive before i go outside on them though, feels way too easy to fall with even just one on. xD I put one on in my room just to see how it felt, room is hard floor at the moment, and yeah it just wanted to slip allover the place. It felt exciting, yet scary.. i can't wait! XD I definitely think I'll be falling quite a bit.

Dicks Sporting Goods had these for $99, they feel like really good skates

I think there's something seriously screwy with MyMemory.co.uk's store brand micro SD cards.

The 16GB, 4GB and 2GB cards work like a charm. But the 8GB model just goes haywire after a certain amount of time. Doesn't matter: Two weeks or two months. It stops working.

That's awesome! I remember trying a friend's roller blades out when I was eight years old, I was terrible at it and didn't have any patience at the time for practicing it. I was decent at riding bikes and scooters and that did take some practice, but I was just like "the hell with this" for roller blading. Good luck.

For the most part what's on my mind lately includes Project X Zone, how stingy I need to be with my money (I've been good about saving this year, but now I'm sort of questioning the degree to which I need to save. Saving is good, but I'm considering lightening up), and the future of American politics. Is it the case that in order for more to be accomplished, one side has to have the upper hand? Perhaps so.

No job right now.
No money.
Have not received any pay for any of the three freelancer jobs I did, 2 weeks and counting.
Car has brake issues and the driver's seat is starting to bend.
Still awake at 3 am mulling this over.

Good luck dude. I don't know what your circumstances are otherwise but the economy is indeed tough despite what anyone else may tell you--the labor landscape has changed. Plus I would think it'd just be difficult to be a freelancer, though you get that much needed freedom.

I myself am looking for jobs right now--I'm about to graduate from undergrad, and I'm hoping I might be able to get the sort of job I'm looking for in the future. Everything I really want to do involves having more experience, so I realize I'll be biding my time doing jobs that aren't necessarily my dReAm Jobzz0rz!11 (unless what I'm looking for changes in the future) for a while.

I'm also finding my own approach to college graduation odd--I am ambivalent, I'm going to miss New York (and I want to go back someday, though not necessarily live there), the people I met here, the experiences, that whole sort of feeling of being in the last bastion before I am compelled to assume a greater responsibility for my life. Yet at the same time I want to move on and see what the future's going to be like. Considering this, I don't have any real....strong emotions, about graduating, most everyone else out of my friends seem more emotional about graduating than I do. This doesn't trouble me, but...perplexes me I guess.

Thanks, guys.

I've talked with a couple of my friends, hopefully I can get something rolling in May.

The cancelling of EMH if it does happen is highly alarming--that was a surprisingly good show, though I only watched about most of the first season. I can't agree with the reasoning either.

Did anyone here use to watch Heroes? I'm not sure how much Loeb contributed to its spectacular downfall, but...yeesh.
