Dial-up Isn't that Great

I've been confined to a dial-up computer so my blog entries have become sparse and are now a rare comodity traded on E-bay. I went flying with my dad today and we flew to Osoyoos and Simacous (or something like that) in a rented Cessna aeroplane.
Being limited by hours and slow internet isn't very fun. I can't understand how I used to use the dial-up and think it to be okay. Even loading pictures on webpages is brutally slow. I'd like to compliment Yahoo Webmail because it is awesome. 100 mb of hosting space for free and absolutely no spam. Try it. you'll love it.
Download my songs at www.download.com/bradneilson . I'm aiming for one hundred before the end of the week. Not quite platinum, but at least bronze or something of the like.
Anyways, no more server time left and the bandwidth is just brutal. I'm done.

Get a Life at My Website

        Credits to my brother, David, for this blog title.  The URL is www.geocities.com/bradneilson2000 for those who want to visit and I shall acknowledge now that I spelt "colour" wrong in the dashed phrase "colour-uncoordinated". 
        I am currently at my grandma's house where my uncle, coincidently, lives.  He has this insane Symantec ad blocker which is incessantly popping up to brag about how it is stopping a "stealth TCP microsoft port" from accessing the computer  :  I probably wouldn't mind, but for many, Microsoft is viewed as evil and would praise Peter Norton for his noble attempts.  For those who have no idea what I am talking about, read on for more life-changing, heart-stopping news.
        I am quite pleased at the response to my first blog entry and blogger has tentatively agreed to continue to air my inspiring, thought-provoking entries, despite their lack of relevance to anything.  I do hope that the first commenter on my first entry will rethink his/her opinion of my blog.
        It is notable how little I manage to say with so many words in this html format.  I like how people that I don't even know take the time out of their life and read my satirical blog and even comment on it.  Keep it up.  (btw.  time definitely equals money.  Take, for example, your job.  You could be spending time at your job and be making money, but instead, you use your time to read my blog.  Not productive, yet amusing.)
      Re: Sersephagus.  I appreciate your last comment and I'll gladly be a friend.  We should hang out when I get home.  As for Pinto, she can just sit and wonder who Serseph is, for his identity shall remain anonymous due to legal issues.
      On a more serious note, I would encourage my readers to visit my website and also to download excessive amounts of "Brad & Kevin" propaganda (in a musical format, of course).  You may comment on either of those on my blogger account.  Please mention any errors on the website and I'll fix them right up.
         For those who have prescription glasses and can actually read this crazy font, I'd like to congratulate Kevin on getting over 25 googlewhacks.
         I have been searching endlessly for a competent photo hosting site and, although I've found many and probably have over a gigabyte of storage space on servers around the world, they just aren't cutting it.  These sites are lame and advertising obsessed.  None will just simply host one's photos free of charge.  They change the URL of my pics every ten seconds it seems, so if I try to post a picture on my blog, the URL will be obsolete by the time anybody gets to it anyways.
         There is a point for all of that writing.  I decided to host the pictures on my website and then insert them on my blog.  For a trial run here is a picture of myself on my prized Highway 1 American-Made Stratocaster:

WOAH DUDE.  Finally, we have photography.
           Now people can just look at my picture and not even read the blog.  A picture is worth a thousand words. right???   Well enough cliches and lack of french characters for one day. 
         Comment Profusely
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME> COME AGAIN

Legendary First Blog Entry

          Well, I finally gave into peer pressure and got a blog to convey my innermost thoughts and basically post my soul on the internet.

          That is what I don't like about blogs; some people write all of this stuff that should be kept private, maybe in a diary, on their blog which is public internet space.  It is ironic that my first blogger comment is me criticizing blogs but they might grow on me.
          Anyways, I'm off to the Okanagan on Sunday to visit my grandparents stopping in New West to see my other grandma.  I love Vancouver (it is where I was born....if you care, otherwise you just wasted lots of valuable time, which equals money, reading this parenthesized spew of thought). 
          I'm going to miss my friends when I'm in Naramata and I'll look forward to seeing them when i get home on either thursday or tuesday (i hope not that long).  >>courier>>.  I love courier font with uniform character sizes, ideal for tabbing.
          In case anybody is wondering, I never intend to "screw" their plans.  That is kind of backstabbish, but if you say you have plans (and don't) or aren't very good at making plans, I reserve the right to tweak them which may involve erasing them altogether.
          I would appreciate comments on this blog, because it lets me know people are reading it and I don't mind you voicing your opinion after reading my humble view of things.  I will probably go on the computer sometime when I am swimming in the Okanagan Lake and I'll check comments so if you want to say anything to me, write a short, sweet comment.  ;)
          I'm sorray that I can never think of things to do.  :(  I wish I could, but sometimes I just find Nanaimo kind of boring. However, I still need to be preserved forever in another pencil sketch.  I was reminded by the drawing of a pea on my arm.  :D
          Interesting fact: The quote of the day often refers to an event that has occured in the few days previous to the blog entry and is, hence, a subtle reference, or allusion if you will, to that occurence.
          I know this is a long entry but I have to make it a good pilot, in order to bring up ratings and draw in lots of viewers for next year.  Maybe I should fill it full of crap that is really awesome to read but not true at all  (maybe not but it would get lots of ppl reading it like the Simpson's episode with Homer's website).
          I'd like to say that Nirvana is one of the greatest and most revolutionary rock acts in history.  Silverchair is also a good band, to keep grunge alive and all but does not measure up to Nirvana's bringing of underground punk to mainstream.  As much as I love Silverchair, when I say revolutionary, I want to hear names like Nirvana, the Beatles and Elvis.
          WOAH.  I am pretty much finished.
