Friday Night (or perhaps Saturday morning) - Quotified

Posted 03-29-08 at 12:37 AM by Chipp
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.

-Harry Truman

This brings up the classic debate of feelings versus force - the school of thought where the means are more important than the ends contrasting with the end result being more important than the means of attaining it. Personally, I'm a believer in the second philosophy - where the greater good takes precedence over the individual's concerns. For every person like myself,...

Friday Night - Quoteified

We're steadily approaching the 1st of December, right now only about 40 minutes away. December means a few things to me. The weather finally starts to cool down a little bit, I can hole up with my tuba and do a lot of playing. I get to be a lot more active here. But, this December I get to celebrate an anniversary. I've been at Overclock.net for 3 years.

It's a long time, when I think on it. Gosh, I was 13 when I joined. I've spent a lot of time doing a lot of things. I founded and...
