Memories and Perception

Can you remember that day?

When the roses grew noses and smelled you

They were jealous of your aroma.
Your fragrance that you bought off a shelf
And sprayed yourself like a definition.
So turn with me in your dictionary
To page 804 and read the first word:
“Illusion”. Noun. A false belief.
I cover myself with clothes of deception.
Get a better perception of this sheep in wolf’s clothing.
Come closer. Close enough to catch me.
Walk with me through these woods
Where the trees have knees
So they can bend over
Put their leaves on the ground
And rest themselves.
And we can walk straight up their backs,
And when they rise again we can see for miles on end,
See the earth for what it truly is: Flat.
Like a pancake it is flat.
It has an edge.
There is an end to this world,
And when you get there you will know it ‘cause
Like the bottom of a skillet, there is only black.
Remember that day,
When you fooled the flowers to think you smelled like an angel?
Remember it and breath it in.
‘Cause it never happened.

How To Nerd: Customizing Windows 7 Part 3

If you've made it this far, congratulations. You can get off the train if you'd like. Maybe you're happy with the setup you've managed to create. That's completely fine. But if you're looking to go the one last step in customizing the overall theme of your computer, let us begin.

First, let me explain what we will be doing. We're going to change some of your system components to allow custom themes. This will let us alter the shell that windows runs in, mess with the colors, transparencies, icons, etc. That's basically it.

Here's what you need to do: head over to DeviantArt and browse through the user uploaded content. You'll see a large list of them, click one you like and you can download it from the top right corner of the page. Usually if there is anything other than the theme that the author used, it will be posted in the description below. Once you download the package, unzip it. I recommend 7-Zip for all you archiving needs. Within the extracted folder you will also find a readme file that the author created to help you along with the process.

This is the theme that I use: Google+ Theme The author has a really professional and all inclusive package to help you get his theme setup, and reiterating what he wrote on here would be redundant and useless.

So here you can see a final product that utilizes all the tips and tricks I talked about in previous posts. If you haven't read those yet, go check out Part 1 and Part 2.
