Things happen all the time that make me happy..

My job is basically OK. I wish I could just get the hang of working here. When I do something at my work you always have to factor in so much bullshit that it is a large accomplishment when an order gets in to the printer. It is victory when the lights work and when we have toilet paper. What I need is to finish my school applications so that I can move on with my life. I don't make enough money at this job to have free time, or do interesting things when I am not at work. I make just enough to scrape by and then work some more. I could be happy most of the time if I just worked alone. But that is not possible. When I get back in school I expect to be a little bit happier and alot busier.

Cool stuff alert

So I know that I am a bit of a dweeb. BUT, I also know cool stuff when I find it. Archive.org is definetely one of the coolest bits of the internet that I have ever found. It is a free library of movies, music and books. Most of the material on it is free to download and play with. I have found tons of cool music in their netlabels archive. Netlabels are music labels that only distribute their music over the internet. One of the cool things about them is that they offer downloads that are even longer than a normal CD, so if you use an MP3 player this is a perfect opportunity to get more music. If you love old movies there is the Prelinger Archives, a collection of ephemeral movies from the earlier decades of the 20th century. I am surprised that I haven't heard more about it from the media. Not all that surprised though since the archive goes against alot of mainstream thought. It distibutes information freely to all, no fees, no limits. Alot of people are afraid to give anything away. I am probably spending a little too much time on the archive though, it is highly addictive since everything on it feels like a discovery. They also have things like recordings of the presidential debates, and tv shows that are off the air. So if you read this you should check it out. You won't regret it.
