| So I've been walking a lot. I walk from my house to Bellevue Square most of the time. That in and of itself is about 1.5, maybe 2 miles away. I probably walk there 3-4 times a week. The reason is that I'm trying to reduce my carbon footprint while keeping myself somewhat healthy. It's actually not that bad of a walk even though the inclines I have to trek are pretty steep. My calves start aching on my way back. But it's good to take walks every now and then. I really like slowing down every now and then just to take it all in. With summer ending it's good to take in as much as sun as I possibly can.

| I really like this song. For some reason whenever I record things and then play it back it bumps up the key a whole or half step. I can't really tell, but it converts it to a different key. It's not the whole thing, but a small clip.

| So I was doing some research late last night and early this morning about obtaining a new graphics card. I figured that my laptop is still in pretty good shape. No viruses, no hard core glitches that will ruin my life forever, and I back up my files regularly just in case anything serious happens. All in all, still pretty dang good. The graphics card that I want to replace would be an Nvidia 7900 GS. What I would try to do is replace that one with a new one. Same kind, same brand and all. But it's looks like I'll be having a hard time finding it. The part itself is pretty hard to locate. The one I want is for a notebook. The ones they sell in stores and online are the ones made only for desktop computers. Not only that but it would cost me a whopping $300 dollars to replace (if I had a desktop computer) a $70 dollar part. I start banging my head against the wall and ask myself why I got a laptop instead of a nice, chunky, desktop computer with an easy to remove case and easily replacable parts. So it looks like I'm going to have buy a new computer. I suppose I'll just use my old notebook as a 'work' computer. Use it to transfer files to and from places. Now the only thing that I'm debating is whether or not to actually build one myself, or to buy a premade custom computer from Dell or some other computer manufacturing company. But I don't think I will be able to get a desktop anytime soon. I got other things to do with my cash. Bills, debt, bills, debt, bills.....
