"Brain Stew"

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
fucked up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go

My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense's dulled
Passed the point of delerium

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
fucked up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go
-------------------------------------

I am a drone... I seriously think I'm going to fall asleep while on the phone... I like sleep but I don't like sleeping... there is so many better things to be doing.

SO I got christmas over with. It was pretty cool. I got to spend alot of time with my family. I got my 42" Samsung TV.... it is much bigger than I thought it'd be and I'm really happy with it thus far... Got it for 700 bucks on black friday and had to pay for part of it... but mostly I got it for christmas!.... I also got a Mini-fridge for my room, Prince of Persia, Rockband Drum Sliencers, and a bunch of other cool stuff!...

As of right now.... i'm sorta bored, I'm actually going to try and make a tophat here soon.... I need to get huge blocks of styrofoam and make a hat block..... carve it out with a foam knife, then Mold some felt into a tophat!! ... Seems tough... but i'll give it a shot...

Seeing as i'm finally off of work with nothing to say besides the fact that I am in fact a -ZOMBIE-

and I like taking showers... O_O .... .... ...

L'Arc~En~Ciel - Blurry Eyes (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

Carried on a wind
from far away,
no matter how many times I try to say these words, [1]
they never reach you.
Once again, my eyes stare somewhere
out the window.

This foreboding hasn't changed, I still feel it.
Those days are getting blurry...

Seeing through
blank eyes
like a caged bird,
the light of the afternoon sun is just like
the light that shines on you
from outside.

This foreboding hasn't changed, I still feel it.
Those days are becoming blurry...

I feel the changing season
will see my promise broken. [2]
Even if I reach out with my hands,
my heart will stay distant.

(Why do you stare at the sky with your blurry eyes?)

I feel the changing season
will see my promise broken.
Even if I reach out with my hands,
my heart will stay distant.

In the changing season,
the one precious to me
looked back toward me with those eyes,
sighing softly.

(Your blurry eyes) ...your blurry eyes
(Your blurry eyes) ...My heart
(Your blurry eyes) ...will stay
(Your blurry eyes) ...distant.

"A long december and theres reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last"
--I breathe in the below freezing air and wheeze and cough constantly.--
December is a month that I have grew to hate. Last December was THE worst month I've ever lived through. Did I make it? Sure... things are better now and I believe that this month could possibly be the greatest. December is always the Darkest of months.
"It's in the Blood, it's in the blood. I met my love before I was born"
--you're in my thoughts, hopes, dreams, and fears... You are everything that I hold dear--
I love my Mother more than anyone. Period. Everyday I would wake up and try to balance my family, friends, and you... as well as work, School, and you... Something had to give, and My empty promises blacken my soul like smoking blackens lungs. Everything reminds me of cancer and the sadness, anger, and the DEATH that follows... and all you could say is ... -sorry. You think you were there for me... but you actually Hurt more than anything or anyone ever has...
all I wanted was for you to hold me...
"I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black"
--Whenever I am scared or afraid where do I go?--
I never had anyone or anywhere to go... I always had to be the one to be strong, the one to forgive and forget... I don't typically hold grudges, but I do hold certain things dear to me. I'm not a -good- person. I will have vengeance when something or someone I am passionate is KNOWINGLY and PURPOSEFULLY taken from me. Violence is not an something i've ever turned to...but someday i'm afraid I might... Every night I would dream of taking off my mask the next morning when I woke up... but I just knew it'd be more trouble than it was worth. I can't STAND ....because you can't stand on your own and I have to carry your dead weight... I can't even express in words the way I feel about you.... as the sentence would have opposing words that would make absolute nonsense.... They cancel out... I feel numb... nothingness... I feel nothing when I think about it.

"I will forgive but I won't forget And I hope you know you've lost my respect"
--Do you -LOVE- the ones you love?--
I can honestly say I do. I -REGRET- nothing... So they say. Love is Blind. You were the girl I looked at from afar and longed for... you were beautiful, intelligent, and artistic ... some of the things I still admire about you... Anyone who thinks "I never loved you" is completely retarded. I GAVE you EVERYTHING. all that I am I gave... Although it doesn't mean much to some people... it does to me. By being with you, I learned so much... the most important thing I learned is... I love myself. I feel so cold. I feel so selfish... but I do. And I never want to sacrifice myself completely for someone elses happiness. My favorite Gazette song "Regret" reminds me of the way you've been acting... and I can't stand it. My song is ruined... The fact that you threaten to KILL yourself to my FRIENDS... my FAMILY... and ME... hurts... I've never cursed at you ... but you are a fucking loser for doing that... but I forgive you.

"today is the greatest day i've ever known"
-- Love is a partnership not a dictatorship--
I can't help but wonder why I couldn't ever be happy... The happiness that I feel at this very moment in time makes me want to vomit because of your misery... I want you to be happy ... and I don't think it should be a sin to want to be happy as well. I think that you also want me to be happy just as much as I want you to be.... so I want you to know... I am... You've said you want to have friendship with me... I also want the same, but we need some time apart. I can't just see you and pretend everythings magically OK... because its not. We have feelings against eachother that will hopefully fade in time... I will not hold anything against you. Do you feel the same way?

"Selfish love Love me, cause I love you This is my way of love."
--Don't forget to smile--
Today I won't forget to smile, like so many other days beforehand.
Today I won't forget to breathe in the below freezing cold air only to violently cough it back out.
Today I won't forget to take a look around me and admire what I see
Today I won't forget to say how much I care to the people around me.
Today I won't forget to do something that -I- enjoy.
Today I won't forget to remember
The month of December.

December is the month of Tradition,Love, Giving, Diversity, and Family.
I won't forget to enjoy that either...
Today I pulled out my Nicotine Punk Rock Xmas album... Drank some Chaitea with extra cinemon ... Later on I will get some candycanes today. Cuddle on the couch with a fleece blanket and watch a christmas movie... I am -happy-

"Escape to the Stars, Feeling so free, Just you and me"
--Float like a feather in a downward spiraling motion--
I can have anything I want- I am Chasing a dream... Please don't hold me back and I promise I won't hold you back. You are a beautiful person. I find my self thinking Nobody loves me And when I do, I realize that everything will be ok... so long as nobody loves me... because I am me... and you are nobody. Being with nobody sends me into convulsions. Cast me out into oblivion with explosions in the sky. I will celebrate our good fortune, and in our good fortune we find Happiness. Give me extra cheers i'm dying slowly. You gauze my puncture and stop the bleeding... I wither and wither, but you don't lose hope... I think about nobody more than I should and I leave myself wide open... I felt so far gone, but you've breathed a new life into me. I can trust NOBODY- sporaticly yet exact my heart goes out to you. When we collide we make a beautiful collision. I fear not a dictator, for I see none. I won't ever forget to smile again. I close my eyes and submerge my head completely ~Kisu kisu Bakuhatsu

Cinema Bizarre-Escape to the Stars

I'm sick and tired of this so-called life
Without room to breathe
I toss and turn in my bed all night
Am i the only one who finds no peace?

What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?

Escape to the stars
Feeling so free
Just you and me
Escape to the stars
Chasing a dream
All that we need is to believe
Escape to the stars

I've always been the one to speak my mind
Strove against the stream
Take on the system or leave it behind
And you will find a new reality

What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?

Escape to the stars
Feeling so free
Just you and me
Escape to the stars
Chasing a dream
All that we need is to believe
Escape to the stars

Overcome gravity
Holding you down
On the ground
Free from insanity
No one else is around
---------------------------------------------------------

So ALOT has happened over the last week- Not really wanting to talk too much about anything.... I pierced my lip and my ears and it's pretty cool. I have my 70-291 scheduled for the first tuesday in December 2nd. I have -ALOT- more free time now and it feels really nice... I can go home to relax and worry about nothing. This Saturday i'm finally going to see my friend's band play at Meta Rose Square... they call themselves Suicide Nation (REALLY STUPID NAME... lol no offense gabe) but yeah ... should be entertaining... Still looking for someone to come with me but going alone could still be fun. I still need to play some more Redalert3 because it's badass... but I have just obtained so MANY GAMES OHHH SHIT!!!...

anyways... nothing else to say atm... workin.... it's not that fun...

Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure 11/25/2008

Yeah ... i'm real excited for that... I have the Trancender for that and I am taking the college class currently at Mat-Su College... Hopefully I can snag this cert...

Last night I decided to drop out of my Independent Project class- Don't have enough time in the world... not enough people are willing to help me out... and my server box isn't responding very well.... I can't get the correct drivers loaded up onto it as it doesn't have nic or wireless nic drivers.... and I am ending up pulling the cards out and looking up model numbers for drivers.... which for some reason STILL won't work .... I don't even know. I had Vista on that machine and it insta found my drivers, so I think i'll try server 08 on it soon, but in regards to the class I don't feel that I have the time to figure all of this out while.... MOVING into my place.... and full time work with trying to study for certs that give me insta-extra$$$ ... so I think that is more important than a stupid independent project class... so -----DROPPED

ALOT of the games that are on my list of -TO OBTAIN- came out! I've been looking for call of duty World at War.... Picked up Gears of War 2... it's pretty fun but I haven't really gotten into it too far yet. I'd like to beat it here soon (I'll probably play it after class tonight)... can't wait. Until then i'm sort of stuck here at work--

Didn't watch too many new movies or anything... although I have obtained quite a few new ones... I re-watched Tron... which is a classic! Seeing as they're making a NEW ONE soon... I also ended up watching Tinkerbell with Tanya.... which... was... umm... yeah. I won't even say anything about that. Re-Watched Wall-E with Bryant... and started Tropic Thunder which looks like it will be pretty good.

Still can't wait for the Xbox live update and the X-Japan rockband track!!

What to say what to say...

First off. Haven't been to work in around a week... In this week I helped my parents move out and have since been moving into my new room of the house. I have a -LONG- way to go before everything is the way I want it to be... but it's off to a nice start. I'm going to have my computer stations spread across the back wall in an array of 4 monitors. My dad also left the big screen TV for the Living Room there so I moved that over to my room heh... It's so awesome to have everything hooked up...

Since the last time I blogged I have obtained my 70-290 Managing Windows Server 2003 Certification, and my CompTIA A+ Certification (220-601, 220-602). I passed both recently and am very happy in regards. I have since been blowing off my remote access independent project and desperately need to jump back into that.

Went to the NUGA (network user group of Alaska) meeting yesterday. They went over some things about Microsoft Sharepoint and reasons people are implementing it.... not so fun... but I did meet up with a guy that would help me out on my remote access project.... he was even a former employee of MTA where I work... It was kind of funny to see his response to me working there.

ALSO My Crystalpoi from flowtoys.com came in!! they are in fact as amazing as they look in the videos!! i've been practicing nonstop since they came in on monday... and I am improving? abit? I dunno... hah hah maybe someday I'll be as amazing as the people I see in the random videos on youtube.

Movies---
I don't usually review or talk about movies... but this is my blog and I do what I want...



The Strangers-hmm... Yeah it was alright. Only complaint was that it mostly consisted of the 2 main characters running around away from the random masked people. It has some nice moments. I couldn't help but laugh at the end part where they take off their masks and take turns stabbing the main characters while tied up to a chair... to make it even funnier the version of the movie that I had actually looped around that part twice making me laugh a second time... Other than that I don't feel bad for watching the movie...



Mirrors- It wasn't bad... I actually enjoyed it. The effects were kind of cool I guess. Nothing too special but the entire thing reminded me of a horrorgame or something. There was even an end boss with a decent fight scene. It was also appearantly a remake of a Korean film I believe? ... I haven't seen the original, but if it was in fact a remake... Definately the best Asian horror remake i've seen in a LONG time... again... not dissappointed about watching it.

Sukeban Boy- Ahh yess.. Noboru Iguchi is at it again... The other movie of his that I watched and enjoyed was Machine Girl ... if you like cheesy japanese flicks you can't miss that one... This one is pretty ridiculous. It's about a boy who looks like a girl... and yeah... It's a pretty weird one. Lots of nudity, gore, and ridiculousness. Entertaining to say the least. If you know me in real life... then you know that I can't live without my ridicuous Asian films....
Wanted- AHH... this movie was so good! I wasn't expecting much... but AHH... God this Director kicks so much ass... Timur Bekmambetov also made the nightwatch/daywatch films and you can totally see the similarities... If I would have known this information beforehand I would have ran to see it in theatres and been more excited about it! I don't want to ruin too much about it, but it's basically about a guy who works a shitty desk job and finds out he's the son of an assassin whos destiny is to become the next assassin.... Watch it... if you haven't already.

I also Watched Hackers again... but everyone in existance knows that movie rocks... Mess with the best... DIE like the rest.

Music-



Track List :
01.?-INTRO-
02.?Break Down

YEAH!... another thing.... Girugamesh is COMFIRMED FOR SAKURACON ... the anime convention in Seattle! April 10th-12th 2009!! ... I --WILL-- Go .... for 2 tickets with hotel stay for a week will be around 1,400 if I book now! ... .... .... I also want to do comic con next year as well... however... this looks much more fun for me. SO who knows what will happen.



Uroboros! ... although it isn't out yet... I like it alot! ... it isn't really what I was expecting... I was under the impression that it was going to be more mellow and in my opinion it follows more closely with Marrow of a Bone... I've only given it 2 listens without paying attention to tracklistings.... Vinushka is 9 minutes long!! and very cool... I remember that one... the noises and such from kyo are definitely interesting. Both Music and Uroboros are getting ALOT of playtime on my end and i'll revise a track by track review soon.

on a final note I also picked up Red Alert 3... it's pretty good sofar. Only got a little ways into it... i'm waiting for someone else to pick it up so I can do 2 player co-op story!

I have nothing...

SO!! I found a new ARES Music video (It may not even be new but I found it... and haven't listened to them in YEARS!! So I was slightly excited) Umm... Lets see! I am now Microsoft 70-290 Certified! I passed it last wednesday! ... So now I am MCP Certified... Isn't that NICE! ... and I also scheduled up my A+ Cert for NEXT wednesday. Was anyone else aware that the CompTIA A+ Certification costs 326 DOLLARS!! ... god i'm broke this month from Cert exams.

I'm still waiting on my flowlights to come in... I seriosly Can not wait for them to come in. I also Ordered another WD 1TB Harddrive from newegg... so yeah I think i'm TOTALLY broke now ... not even really sure. I should keep better record of my banking account. Just so much went into certs that I don't even know anymore!!

For some reason I haven't talked at all about my fantasy football team!... wow.. umm I called it "The Packets of Ramen" and they're umm pretty good... Here's the team:

Hopefully thats readable.... I cant read it... so... I don't really care. Fantasy football makes Sundays the best day to work... I BEST BE WINNIN THIS WEEK my team is 4-2-0... so another loss would really make me mad...

Because ... I am the winner...

FOR NOW and FOR ALWAYS.

AAAAAAAAAAAND I still haven't posted any Auroracon pics... I shall later... When I think about it again... but not now... because i'm at work.... working hardly.... hardly working..

Guns ‘n Roses watches (Are not punk rock!)
Hello Kitty iPod cases (Are not punk rock!)
Rob Zombie lunch boxes (Are not punk rock!)
Slipknot binder paper (Is not punk rock!)
Tinkerbell pillow cases (Are not punk rock!)
Led Zeppelin air fresheners (Are not punk rock!)

Hot Topic is not punk rock! (Hot Topic!)

Hot Topic is a contrived identification with youth subcultures to manufacture an anti-authoritarian identity and make millions. The $8 you paid for the Mudvayne poster would be better spent used to see your brother’s friend’s band.

DIY ethics are punk rock
Starting your own label is punk rock
G.G. Allin was punk rock.

But when a crass corporate vulture feeds on mass-consumer culture, this spending mommy’s money is not punk rock!
------------------------------------------------------
Last but not least... MTA is not punk rock...

Yessssssss... Well then... I love me some MC Lars. He is my hero... I really can't wait for This Gigantic Robot Kills... It shall be out in January... The Bat Commander makes a guest appearance on one song!! and so does the audience of the MC Lars concert I went to... He sampled the audience singing "I want my guns and roses" ... So!! i'm pretty excited about that too...

I have been browsing Ebay all morning-- Bought a Dir en Grey Tour shirt, an LM.C shirt aaaaaaaand life is awesome...

There is really nothing much more to say today and I don't want to be for real.today.

Fable II, Gears of War II, Fallout III, Left 4 Dead... all coming out soon... I will be obtaining all of those...

Streetlight Manifesto- Somewhere in the Between:
You were gone when we found you -
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped -
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold -
When they saw the look of love in your eyes -
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad -
And everything else was part of the plan -
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here" -
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end -
And we all just idolize the dead -
So you were born, and that was a good day -
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame -
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream -
And nothing and no one will ever take that away -
You had a love and that love had you -
And nothing mattered, you were fine -
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame -
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all -
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad -
And everything else was part of our path -
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here" -
This is the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events -
And we all just idealize the past -
And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end -
But we can't just get in line again
--------------------------------
Ahh yes... Started off with song lyrics again... aren't I special.. SURE AM.. Yeah. I was cruising around last night and this song was on... I like Streetlight Manifesto alot... they're pretty cool.

Anyways- I've been doing alot of training for DTV at work. There are 5 new employees and i've had the opportunity to sit down with 4 of them and give them some DTV ... (AND DSL training) ... It's really difficult to train them on DTV without DSL training... They usually haven't even ever used any of the programs that we use to troubleshoot. I tried getting through with some ideas for training a larger group with my supervisor and our training coordinator and hopefully something will happen by next week.... but that is yet to be seen. AHH YEAH... and at wednesdays meeting they passed out this Positive Putty stuff... it's blue ... MTA... silly putty... Yeah... It's really fun.. and ......... it's great to see where company dollars are... going... yeeeaaaaaah...

Like I said... Training is kind of lame... and it impedes on my study time to do homework. I am now a WEEK behind in my independant project class. (The one where I have to research and impliment a citrix remote access gateway) and my 70-290 class only has one chapter left and Monday or Wednesday I plan on getting the cert exam out of the way (Hopefully Monday... I WANT TO PASSSSSSSSSSSS) I should STUDY more for it though... Tonight I will hit the books HARD and study it up all night.

I really just wish I had some homies to study it up with. Most of the people that I hang out with either aren't motivated enough... or already have certs that I want... If only the Shane Train would study for the CCNA with me.... he's a lazy bastard though....

I started doing poi juggling and recently purchased some LED Glowsticks...

For those of you who don't know... (WHICH I DIDN'T until like... a month ago) Poi juggling is pretty much spinning a ball or object on a chain... it's pretty fun and I'd like to learn how to do it..

I actually ordered some Crystal Flowpoi from www.flowtoys.com and i'm looking to get: these too... http://www.homeofpoi.com/shop/productDetails/Pair-of-Stripy-LED-GLOW-Sock-POI

Diabolo's look pretty fun too ... I dunno I'd love to try it out... Here's a vid with LED Diabolos.


I'm so excited!! ...

FLOWPOI... hmm.. yeah actually i'm off of work already... GOD... today was crazy.. so many calls...

So this weekend I made it over to Auroracon. I actually got to go both days, and i'll say that it was better than last year. Sunday morning, woke up and got into Anchorage with Tanya... We checked out the Miku wig that her aunt was dying... and it turned out to be too light, and not able to be put in pigtails... it looked more like Kos-Mos from Xenosaga or something... ANYWAYS we then decided to go shopping for last second costume enhancements and went to the con in normal clothes... I was rather sad that I didn't get my Ruki Costume together...but OH WELL... Ended up getting some things... The vendors that I saw at Comic con and bought an Eternal Dragon plush for Randall were there! I talked with the main guy for awhile (He was pretty cool) and ended up getting an airgear figure of a nekkid Ringo. It's pretty cool! other than that me and Tanya just sort of walked around and was entertained by a huge tetris block going up the escalators... I wish I would have brought my pokemon cards for a battle... but yeah... I also seen that Soul Calibur 4 was being played in the gaming room... but I didn't get a chance to destroy everyone... Sunday was cool... Still with no costume, I had been sort of trying to make a Matt costume from deathnote, and Decided to wear it anyways even though my hair isn't red... my jeans aren't right, the vest wasn't done and I didn't have boots... It was probably REALLY BAD but I had to do something seeing as Tanya was Miku Hatsune... We didn't get the Wig to work or a headset, but I think that we can make it work better nexttime hopefully. I might even cosplay as Kaito or Gackpoid.... Gackpoid preferbly though... ANYWAYS I shall post some pictures if I get em... and yeah...

Possesions never meant anything to me
Im not crazy (cause I got none)
Well thats not true, Ive got a bed and a guitar
And a dog named dog who pisses on my floor
Thats right, Ive got a floor
So what, so what, so what?
Ive got pockets full of kleenex and lint and holes
Where everything imporatnt to me just seems to fall right down my leg
And on the floor
My closest friend linoleum
Linoleum
Supports my head, gives me something to believe
Thats me on the beachside combing the sand
Metal meter in my hand
Sporting a pocket full of change
Thats me on the street with a violin under my chin
Playing with a grin, singing gibberish
Thats me on the back of the bus
Thats me in the cell
Thats me inside your head
Thats me inside your head

I also am doing an "Indipendant project" ... and unfortunately my work was unable to accommodate me. SO i'm doing a project on Remote Access for a small network of around 120 users.... We'll see how that goes...

In other news... work sucks and I am a Lamer-

Water Temperatures commonly used for personal hygiene are 98°-102° and the comfort range is very narrow. Someone comfortable at 102° would be very uncomfortable at 104°. Federal Law limits Jacuzzi and Spa heaters to 104°.

Just FYI ... if you were wondering.

willful destruction of one's self-interest... suicide? Yeah i'm not myself lately... NO i'm not going to kill myself... Just reading up on the theory of Quantum Suicide... it's pretty messed up. A theory which would be easy to write off quickly as fake and retarded, but the fact that it can't be proven wrong is sort of interesting... check it out if you're bored sometime. I want to believe in Quantum Suicide because that probably means that in some weird universe.... Hide from the band X-Japan could be alive somewhere...

I actually watched the X Japan part from the Hide Memorial Summit from this may... and some parts made me cry... while other parts made me really happy... The end where all of the musicians came out like Versallies, TM Revolution, The Underneath, MUCC and many other bands I was so happy... I really want the giant X Japan Plushies that they had on stage at the very end... I would kill for a hide plushie right now.... I actually did some searching and they have become harder and harder to find... I totally should have owned one YEARS ago... but I was always too lazy to purchase one. I am actually still looking for other parts to the Hide Memorial Summit. I would love to have the Dir en Grey, MUCC, and Maximum the Hormone parts to it... SOMEONE OUT THERE HAD TO HAVE FILMED IT!!! ... God..

Speaking of Dir en Grey ... they are playing in Portland, and in Seattle this December... oh how i'd love to go. I actually priced it out and it'd cost around 634$ to go for 3 nights for plane tickets+Room... not bad eh? ... Still thinking about it... OH YEAh... and!---7th ALBUM?UROBOROS?2008.11.12 RELEASE.

The Track listing is now posted! But alot of the tracks are in Japanese...and this PC doesn't support the japanese language... so i'll post it sometime soon.

I really just wish that I could sleep right now- I still have to go home to play some castle crashers...

Actually My Red Night character is level 58 right now. it's pretty cool... I have unlocked ALOT of characters... I'm working on getting the Brute and then the Industrialist character. seeing as the industrialist is awesome and can throw saw blades. ANYWAYS... (still my favorite word if you haven't noticed)

I strung up an old classical acoustic guitar I had laying around and started playing abit... i'd like to learn some songs... so I pulled up some tabs on the song "Neon" by John Mayer" It's a pretty tough song to play!!! And sing to it? lol YEAH RIGHT... one day I hope...

I am going to get off work early today... college is being retarded and my professor got the front office to call me over and over ... when i'm at work. on a phone call. What is with that shit... i'm so pissed off... And I quickly picked up and had them get off of the phone with me... i'm just overall in a not good mood I guess...

I'm out... i'm going to ... ...GAH...

So stuff...

Yeah ... I bought a new Skateboard and i'm liking it sofar... Went down to Playitagain Sports and just picked up the first board that I saw and liked.... on a whim... sometimes it's necessary... I've only got to use it like twice sofar... but it is in the middle of my workweek, and my weekend was spent skating and fixing my car.

Heres a link to the board I got http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KQI448

So I haven't wrote about what's going on with my living situation...

I'm buying a house.... yeah.. my parents house... it's going to be pretty awesome... I am already preapproved for a 180,000 dollar loan... seeing as my credit score is 780... how ... I dunno... I'm obviously amazing...

Today is a very special day for me---- 8/29 PANIC☆ch ... Even though half of my pannikku is gone... they have replaced them with new members! and they ARE BACK with a new mini Album called RAY!! YEAH! And 2 new PV's! I haven't gotten them yet BUT I WILL AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS. I even named my blog after them... so I'm sorry that this entry isn't ... as good as it should be... ...........



Anyways... i'm done with this... I RUV PANNIKKU

--I have this weird urge to go skateboarding...

I don't know why... Not like Tony Hawk halfpipe skateboarding... like roaming the town at night going into gas stations and buying nacho's skateboarding... It sucks... I feel homesick for a place I don't live, nor have ever lived... I want to go back to LA. San Diego, or Santa Monica would work too. I just watched the Disk 2 part of the Benzene Album: Old Shoes... God dammit BEN!!! ... hope all is going will for you man...
----
Don't like metal...Sick of country rock... Yeah I didn't want to hear... yeah I wanted to go to Burger King
----

I wish that I had something better to say today, but I have nothing...

Time is passing by... kicking my ass it seems... every day...

Everything makes me tired and unmotivates me to do anything productive.

Everyday I get home and try to get something done... NOTHING gets done and I fall asleep at night TIRED. BORED. and Dreading the next day to come.

I did however string the classical guitar that I got for free... Picked up some strings EONS ago... finally got around to stringing it... It doesn't sound good. The first three strings are barely audible seeing as the strings sit so far off of the fretboard.... it's retarded. I just need to go get an acoustic guitar from the store for like 100 bucks....

I really need that Bad Credit album... I wonder how I can obtain it!. I'm going to order it from Amazon later... So-Lazy-...
after workI have to go to the tire place to get my flat tire fixed. LAME. yeah I went to the state fair. Rode some rides, got some good food! it wasn't bad... but my tire is now flat and i'm riding around in my moms Chevy HHR. ... it is the ugliest vehicle known to man... but it drives kind of good ... so I don't mind... The visibility out of the windows is terrible... and I feel like a midget.

IF you're tall. I don't reccommend it.

Anyways-

It seems our helpdesk staff here over at MTA is slowly depleting... 6 empty desks... out here... whereas it is usually full with 12... I really am not sure what is going on, but it is definitely weird...

Over my weekend I got to go thrifting, and grabbed some suit tops... I got a pink one... it's totally flaming, but I got it for laughs... I also Picked up DOA4 which seems to have dropped off the face of the earth!! I went to both walmarts, Fred Meyers, Gamestop at one mall, and I finally found it used at the gamestop of the other mall... and there was only one copy... it was 17 dollars.

I love the fight system that focus's on reversals, and the levels are pretty cool too as all of the items in the levels can be either destroyed or you can punch someones face through it.
Anyways... I haven't tried online yet, but i'm sure it's really REALLY fun.

Comparing it to Soul Calibur... there is ALOT more playability in my opinion and will probably spend several more hours playing this than Soul Calibur 4... I LOVE soul calibur 4 more... but It took me less than a half hour to unlock all of the characters.... in this you have to go through the story mode with every character, and other things like that... so playing through this is alot more challenging and more time consuming. I DO however love the character customization on soul calibur 4 better... so i'd rate them both about even... but like I said... i'll probably be playing this one abit more... this game does seem alot more difficult as well... Maybe it's just because i'm not used to it?

Ehh well. I can't wait until I get home... i'm really REALLY hoping I can get some sleep tonight and maybe watch some Anime... or even play some Halo if John is online... Hey JOHN... if you read this POST a COMMENT... anyways... He finally got an Xbox360 with Xbox LIVEEEEEE... it's so amazing... i'm totally sending him a super rad xmas gift. or maybe even just a gift for no reason that will be in the form of a game... WHO KNOWS...

I started up my last.fm page... it's pretty nifty... I had one eons ago, but who knows what happened to it... ACTUALLY... I think it was called Audio Scrobbler or something though... I don't really remember.

I have to set up my media center through it so that it automatically just... scrobbles my music for me... http://www.last.fm/user/R2theKore <---me@last.fm ... if you want to add me ... DOIT.

Ever Had a Zinger? I'ts pretty much a twinkie with frosting on the bottom.... I picked up 2 boxes yesterday... one vanilla one chocolate, and they are quite delicious. What does that have to do with anything? It really doesn't.

Anyone going to Aurora con? Sept 27/28 http://www.auroracon.org/

Yeah... i'm going.

Tanya will be attending with me, as well as Shane and Roxy.

I will be cosplaying as Ruki from the band "The Gazette" Specifically Ruki from the Zetsu PV-



It's hard to get a still of him standing still to ge a good screenshot, but here's the PV itself from youtube.


Tanya is cosplaying the Vocaloid Miku Hatsune...



I've been a Miku Hatsune fan for awhile, and have also been messing around with the actual Miku Hatsune Vocaloid software which has been pretty fun... I'm going to actually start working on a Miku rap song... I don't know how well that will turn out, but i'm starting on making some interesting beats to go with it first before I start the lyrics... I really Want to get my hands on the Gackt vocaloid software!! I saw that there was a version of that somewhere.... I wonder if its floating around anywhere for me to obtain....

Anyways I also -Have- to get the 2 goodsmile Miku Hatsune chibi and full sized figures soon...


Also I believe Shane says he's cosplaying Horatio from Mega 64...
The epic Horatio... Played by Derek...

You can get a feel for his character here: he's in this poque-oblog


I don't know if shane or Roxy are actually going to though... Me and Tanya however have spent alot of money getting ready... Tanya is actually going to get her actual hair dyed Teal, and purchased blue color contacts...

I also have plans to purchase some Red and white color contacts... that will look similar to: but one eye will have red... the other white...



Anyways... Sofar it's looking good. I'll have my hair colored blondish/white... I'm going to try to get it as white as I can, but if it turns out abit yellow still, that would work as well seeing as that's how Ruki's hair is.

I'm also working on a DISORDER costume for Ruki as well...

Cannot Speak... Lost my voice ... Speachless and Redundant...
----
I can't tell you how many time's i've tried to start this entry... it seems like I am having speech issue or something ... I end up leaving my computer with a blank entry so here goes another one.

I've been working on a few different projects as of recent... first one is getting college straightened out... not sure if that is considered a project or not, but it seems to have been. I have discovered that after this semester I need Speech Class, 1 more part of the MCSE class, and my Math (Which I plan to test out of)... Speaking of Math I met up with my Cousin who is in the same situation as I am (Coincidentally we both suck at math) and started to study for our College Algebra CLEP. People always ask me why I am not going into computer science... To put it simple I HATE MATH... It's not that I can't do it... it's just I don't CARE enough about it to want to do it... So I signed up for the remainder of my MCSE Classes... I'm looking to cert in all seven parts soon... (So long as my work pays for it) I'm actually looking into that right now...

ANYWAYS... Independent project.... I talked to my boss and he's going to set me up with someone in the IT department to do an apprenticeship of sorts and collaborate and do a 160 hour project! ... AWESOME... Can't wait to break the monotony and do something fun for a change instead of answering phone calls...

Oh yeah... other projects? ... I was working on a Citrix Enterprise Remote access Gateway server... i'm planning on implementing that soon... I was actually trying to figure out a way to grab IP addresses VIA MSN Messenger or AIM or Yahoo... that would help me out ALOT seeing as my remote access gateway will need to have a static IP but if my Modem Gets Power Cycled or something my IP changes... so a way to grab an IP address from something like that would be AWESOME.... other than that... Still doing research on that.

Also looking for something to grab IP addresses for other purposes... -REMOTE LOGIN- ... completely stealthed... noone will know i'm remotly logged in. that'd be interesting to experiment with... ANYWAY before I say something I shouldn't moving right along...

umm... Not enough time for games recently. Been playing some TF2 as the new heavy pack is coming out next week... Good news for me seeing as I love playing Heavy!! they actually just released info about the new gun which slows the opponent but minus's damage... so that's sort of cool.

Check the updates for the next few days here: http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/...

No music-

Super Barrio Bros still kickin in my player... Check out my friends group... Thirsty Fish:


Dumbfounded is my homie I met when I was in cali... check his freestyle vids he's awesome.

EDIT____

Psychosis's hoodie... alot of people have asked if I know where that came from or what it is...
It is a Wile E. Coyote hoodie... made by Lot 29... You can find it here.

I joined the Gamer-Society as of recent... well actually I joined it awhile ago and never posted until around yesterday... LINK <--- anyways if anyone wants to game up with me or my homies at work, this is the place to do it... ------ In other news... there really isn't any other news. I've still been playing Soul Calibur 4... I can't win in ranked matches online... I'm like 0wins 4 losses. When I play it's SO LAGGY... How am I supposed to defeat someone with over 400 wins and 100 losses WHILE lagging... not even fair. And when you fight someone in special game match their armor makes it so they have 2 life bars as opposed to my one life bar... SO stupid.... Maybe I just suck... I dunno... I'll keep practicing... I have a huge problem with blocking in fighting games. I just don't seem to ever want to. ------------ Anyone watching the Olympics? ... didn't get a chance to catch too much of it. My Media Center has the Olympics app installed into it so it automatically grabs the olympics and downloads it to my harddrive! it's pretty awesome... hopefully enough will be downloaded and I can watch some fencing or something tonight... OH YEAH CASTLE CRASHERS:
Thats like 2 weeks away! I'm totally excited about that! Saw it played at Comic Con and it looked amazing!... I should boot up Alien Hominid and run through that... (Still haven't beaten that)


No Software or tech stuff today...

Music? still same stuff... I have to check out the music acts that are going to be at PAX which I won't be able to attend... Some of the stuff there looks good!(tt'd be WAY fun to attend and chill with Mega64 again but I can't get off work for that)
Oh yeah speaking of music heres the link for MC LARS Special promo site to download some tracks www.thisgiganticrobotkills.com

So... I didn't get the Level 2 DTV position... Ahh well The person who got it is very well deserving and I give her a high five! They say I only missed it by around 5 points out of 150, which makes me feel pretty good seeing as she's been here WAY longer than me and also has a college degree. So if they didn't choose her I'd be abit worried... ANYWAYS... Senator Ted Stevens visited MTA (my work) Today!! ... TED STEVENS... WOOAHHh..So anyways I was talking to him... and as he was walking away I totally ran him over... as in... stepped on the poor 85 year old man... I felt really bad, and I appologised... He's much shorter than he looks on TV. All I could think about the entire time was the whole "THE INTERNET ISN'T A BIG TRUCK... THE INTERNET IS A SERIES OF TUBES!" ... and then the Ted Stevens Techno remix song came to mind....
I even got my picture with the guy! ... So hopefully those come out alright... I looked like hell today though and I didn't do my hair... so It might not be the coolest. Ahh Well

So The past 2 days have been pretty interesting I guess. I had the chance to go to the theater twice! First I saw the Mummy 3... ... ... I don't really know really what to say about it besides that it wasn't that good. The main asian female character was so annoying... you could tell she could speak perfect english but she insisted on having the FAKEST accent ever... I don't even know what sort of accent it was, but it can't have been real. Apparently she can also call for yeti's in the mountains... I don't know it was just so random... and not a good random. I guess it was alright for a gauntlet movie or something, but not what I hoped for by a longshot. also- Jet Li vs Brenden Fraser ... Jet li would obviously win.


The other movie I went to go see is the Dark Knight... I have now left the minority of people who haven't seen the movie! I was literally one of like 2 friends that I have... still never to see it. BUT like I said... now i'm normal and can say that I saw it. I'm not even going to lie, it really was a good movie and I did like it alot. I don't even really have to say anything about the performance of Heath Ledger as it has all been pretty much said. I'd go see it again.

Seeing as I work at an ISP I love seeing how many emails I get saying "*USER* Was disconnected due to copyright infringement" The past 10 that I have gotten were all for the movie "THE DARK KNIGHT" ... hah hah wow... Actually today one came in for the anime "Sekirei" which i've never heard of... That is really weird it is the first anime that I've ever seen get a copyright infringement charge... SO for all of you pirates out there... watch out for the dark knight and sekirei... as some of the torrents have companies monitoring them like BayTSP...
------------------------------
Soul Calibur 4 is still just as fun as when I got it... I have been ascending the tower and been using Sung Mina and Kilik as my 2 characters (Nightmare added if there are 3). I need to branch out and learn to use other characters now though as Sung Mina and Kilik are the only characters that I can effectively use. I'd like to learn to play Talim, Taki, Nightmare, or Ivy next.

In regards to upcoming games. Guilty Gear looks amazing... it's not a fighting game... it looks more like... Dynasty Warriors or a RTS type game... I guess i'll just have to wait. The Japanese Release Date is November 29th... not sure what it is for here... Appearantly there is a Demo available on XBOX Live that i'll have to go try out when I get home.

I just Resubscribed to Netflix, in anticipation for the new XBOX Live Streaming option... I was also going to start renting some movies again... because i'm bored and want some movies. Since I left last time they have added Streaming movies... and surprisingly enough they run on my internet connection FLAWLESSLY without buffering and in full DVD quality... it really is amazing! and the selection is pretty vast. I really can't wait until my Gyration media center remote gets here! I'll be able to finally use my media center to watch streaming netflix on my huge TV upstairs! YEAH! and i'll use it as a DVR.
--------------------------------------
I really need to upload my vacation pics... Especially the ones with the Aquabats! seeing as they were so amazing! I really wish I coulda gotten a full video of Ricky Fitness beatboxing for that drunk black dude... it really made my day!

Speaking of Music I recently obtained some new music (well ... some of it old) I actually got the Streetlight Manifesto Discography... I haven't listened to them in FOREVER so I decided to get it again. I also got the new Offspring album which i'm really liking so far. I haven't really had a chance to listen to that much... and I also went to Mega64's site and downloaded the Slowdraw the hungry Eskimo album again...I have no idea why I like it so much... just something about it I guess...
Click here for the Slowdraw album
------------------------
I haven't really tried any new PC programs... I really need to get back into the swing of things. I wanted to try ipcop as a firewall, and i'll be exploring a few different proxy programs soon . Maybe even Wipe my main PC as its pretty full of just random stuff... AND i'll write it here so I won't forget. DU Meter... monitors bandwidth coming in and out of a network.... SO Hopefully I will be able to do some reviews on some of that... I also Still need to setup my Citrix Access Gateway. as well as my VMWARE Thin Client stuff.

I dunno... not much else to say. I should probably get back to calling people up on the phone seeing as I really am at work... LATA FOO

Now that my Vacation is finally over... I am left sitting here 7:00AM at work... Thursday morning...

LIFE has never been better. Things have went right back to normal without skipping a beat it seems. I drove to work listening to "Give me Straight" remembering Ben, and how fun things were. I'll never forget "You a fuckin dog!! YOU KNOW THAT?!" being shouted out the car window at someones random dog... In regards to our footprint that we left behind? ... I dunno... I really didn't talk to too many people or do anything weird to any stars, so I think that things are pretty much the same as when we got there. Shane Did however make it into the intro of the Mega 64 podcast dancing with shawn!
Also- The Aquabats super show was said to be online... but appearantly only the cartoon part is online. I wish the whole episode was on so I could watch it again. But! for all of you LESS fortunate people who never even got to see it once here is the cartoon part of the supershow. The live action part i'm guessing won't be shown unless their show gets picked up by some random network.

Well it looks like my job interview for level 2 DTV Technician position is this morning at 9:30! Finally! I am really happy that they held the position open an extra week just so that I had an equal opportunity to interview! Even though I might not get the position, i'm looking forward to getting my schedule changed over to nights if I don't. OH YEAH! I also Obtained Soul Calibur 4! And although it is really fun, I wish that there was abit more to it... It seems ... lacking somehow... I've only got around 4-6 hours into it sofar so that might change... One of the only things I didn't like about it is that you can unlock all of the characters in around 15 minutes... All you have to do is beat the story mode once and you can buy and unlock all of the main characters, which I guess is cool, but I love spending hours unlocking them all... it makes me feel like I accomplished something while playing through all of the story modes, which I don't want to play through anymore seeing as I have unlocked all of the characters. My plans for today: Go home: PLAY soul calibur 4... All day...

ALRIGHT!

Leaving on a jet plane.

I have 13 hours nine minutes until I have to leave on the plane... I am sitting here... at work... and I really just can't even imagine how awesome it's going to be. I really REALLY can't wait. The anticipation is killing me. It feels like I can't sit still and my legs wont stop tapping on the floor(The RedBull I drank this morning doesn't really help much). I am still not even done packing... Trying to approve no lunch so I can get off of work at three instead of four so that I can make it out to the post office to pickup some packages, and run out to Tanya's to drop off the Giant Keroro Gunso that I got off of ebay. Then it's back to my place to throw all of my crap back into the suitcase, and then I will rush over to Shanes to Catch our plane!. hopefully that goes OK... i'll see-----

-------------------------

EDIT: July 22nd 7:26 mountain time.

Just got off of the first flight. It went alright. Got on at around 11:30 last night, tried watching Survive Style 5+ with Shane... I fell asleep and then my lappy decided to die. Right now i'm sitting at a recharge station at the Denver Airport... I've never seen a shittier place. There is just a bunch of grassland and farm crap... Who wants to come here anyways... the Bronco's arent that cool. ALSO! the airport here looks like an indian reservation. The roofing looks like huge Teepees... I don't even know if I spelled that right... Oh yeah we also got some really bad Quiznos... Quiznos for breakfast isn't delicious at all.. This 2 hour layover isn't really that fun so... i think i'm going to go try for some starbucks. Mint Frappachinoooo.... Anyways... i'll update again if anything happens.

--------------------
UPDATE AGAIN!...

HAVEN't had a chance to update since the airport!!! ... it's been an amazing trip sofar. Usually when I do things like this something bad happens... like I lose my luggage or worse. As soon as we got in from the airport Shanes sister Megan picked us up. We hung out with Marcus her new husband and Megan for a few hours and hitup the mall in LA. When I was there I was originally looking for some nice new sunglasses and shorts, but in the end only found the shorts and ignored the sunglasses. I got the Volcom Stone shorts that the Aquabats wear! it sucks because shane was unable to get them as the biggest size they had was 32's which is my size... Guess I lucked out on that one!. After that we went to this really cool store called puzzel world I believe... puzzle house? I dunno... Puzzle something... It had really amazing anime figurines and such inside. I found Sonic and Shadow Fully poseable figures! So I had to buy them... as they were 15 bucks each. After that I was calling my good friend Ben (From an earlier post you can watch one of his music videos) Finally getting ahold of him he was hanging out with a bunch of his Korean Friends and wanted us to meet him at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. Megan being the -AWESOME- Person she is not only drove us down to hollywood. when we got there she followed them all the way to one of his korean friends houses in Korea town so that they could drop her off... as the car seats 5... and there were 7 of us. (I tried to ride in the trunk but everyone was against that) I know shane was really nervous as he was the only white dude there and he kept telling me not to ride in the trunk as it would be REALLY awkward. It ended up with Fang, the drummer from Benzene and his girlfriend having to sit on eachother... while me and shane had our own seat. I felt kind of bad... but they didn't seem to care too much. We then headed over to his friends house to hang out for awhile. There I met some awesome people and we sat around and talked about people, places, and life... it was really amazing... One of the guys was a freestyle rap artist that calls himself Dumbfounded, and we got an album out of him. He was set to go on tour, and although I haven't heard his album as of yet... I have been getting into the nerdcore rap music ALOT so i'm sure its awesome. It was a great experience to hang out with them, they were amazing artists. After that was done we dropped off Fang, His girlfriend, and her friend off to their small room that they were renting, and Ben, Shane, and I went to this place called "The Lockout" ... The Lockout was basically one of about 20 different storage containers transformed into recording studios. Even though it was around 4am, there was still a guy in the container next to him mixing some music. Ben talked with him for abit and we got to peek inside and he had SO much mixing equipment that my jaw dropped... he said he was certified in using protools which is pretty cool... He started refining a benzene album as we went back into Ben's container to hang out and watch his favorite movie "Dead Alive" which i'll say is one of the funniest movies i've seen in awhile. (I know it's old but I never watched it). I also got a chance to buy 2 Benzene albums! That next morning Fang went to Disney world with his girl and her friend... while we went over to get showers at his small room place... We ended up at a gas station with Fang and Ben just hanging out and talking for around an hour and then Ben took us out to San Diego!. The drive was fun we cruised to some Beachboys music which was really the perfect california crusing music... also jammed out to some Shonen knife, and a punk album called short songs for short people which I really liked. Finally getting checked into the hotel, we went to go eat some mexican food with Matt and Dylan from another band called SkullFUCK and I had a California Burrito for the first time. It was good! It had frenchfries and such inside... so it was different... but delicous none the less. That was fun! But they had to go as they had work the next morning... so we went over to their friends house Jessica and Kevin. They were really REALLy cool too! we hung out and I got to see Ben try his hand at Guitar hero... which was really funny.. After that was all over with we ran back to the hotel and got some sleep. Ben had to leave that morning to take Fang to the Airport... It's reall sad because he has to go back to Korea to be with his girl and to finish school, so he will no longer be drumming for Benzene... That Next morning we suited up for comic con... bought some stuff... Saw Robert Rodregaz and his panel on his new movie "Red Sonja" which looks like is going to be awesome!!!... I got The Rin and Saber Revoltech figurines... as well as the Starscream one. I also picked up the chibi L figure that I was wanting FOREVER.. We then made our way to the MEGA 64 SCREENING! We got to chill with Rocko, Garret, Derek, and Shawn... it was so amazing! And their new episode was so funny! I'm not supposed to say anything about that so i'll leave it at that . ... So we went back home to get some sleep for the next day... the best day... THE day we get to go to the AQUABATS!... We slept in until like 1, but we still went out to go buy stuff.... We picked up some anime... saw the guys from Alien Homind and got them to sign a game... I finally got Vampire Toast, and MC Chris Figurine!! The Jonny Depp figure was sold out.... which sucks... We need to go back on Sunday to try to get it.... We got back to the hotel to take a really quick swim, and then!! we suited up and hopped the train to the BATS!!!.... We must have looked amazing running through town in our costumes. Getting there was so AMAZING... we had to check our cameras and bag upstairs in the store. ... after that DJ Lance was already playing!! ... He actually! had a really fun show!! Brobee and Flex were there too! and the Yo Gabba Gabbaness ensued!! after DJ Lance was done it was time for MC LARS to come out!. He busted his rhymes while wearing a Blue Aquabats Rashguard, an Anti Negitivity Helmet, AND a gangsta hat... it was awesome. After his EPIC show I did something really dumb... I went back and hung out with him and bought a bunch of stuff... like shirts, and CD's... I Had him sign them! And he gave us free stuff for coming from Alaska!! ... After that I met his homie YTCRACKER .. and got his album and stuff. Then I realized I had a huge bag of awesome... and had the aquabats show coming. I talked to MC Lars and he TOTALLY! Let us store our stuff we bought behind his vendor table!! .... SO AMAZING... So then... the AQUABATS. We waited and waited with anticipation... and FINALLY! They came out to premiere the AQUABATS SUPER SHOW!!!... IT was more amazing than words can describe.. One of my favorite lines is when Ricky Fitness runs off "WHERES HE GOING!?!? ... I dunno son... but I miss him already.... " I'll post a link to the show later, as they now have the Pilot Episode online now after last night!. Then they came out!! and rocked harder than EVER... the Giant Tortilla came out which was played by one of the guys in Bad Credit. I got to throw my waterbottle at his head before the bat commander began beating him down. The Crowd was crazy! It was so hot... I could barely breathe... We were as close to the front as possible and the moshpit was insane. Especially During Super Rad and the finale song Pool Party!!! ... But after the show after we got our bag back... we waited around an hour and one by one!! The bats came out! First came CRASH MCLARSEN!!! we got a blurry picture (woman must have been drunk or something) then came Ricky Fitness! who was probably the coolest... As a drunk black dude that had nothing to do with anything.. walked by singing.... Ricky ran up to beatbox for him... It was way AWESOME! ... Then Jimmy the Robot, and THE BAT COMMANDER!! Finally Eaglebones Falcon hawk came out and we had ALL of the signatures!! Shane got his belt signed... and I got my limited edition of charge signed!! ... It was perhaps the greatest night of my life...

So this is where I am right now.... At the hotel... Saturday morning... my legs hurt from moshing all night... it was worth every minute! .. I'll update this one ... one last time with Pictures and about the last 2 days...

--------------------
EDIT AGAIN....

So... Sunday was alright... I ended up buying a bunch more stuff... and then we hung out with Ben for the rest of the night. and packed up. then we had the long drive back over to LA to stay with Shanes sister again... Everything was going ok until we got into the airport. Our plane was supposed to leave at 6:10 but ended up leaving at around 7:00 .... why ... they say because of the weather (Sunshine!? WTF) but from what I saw... they had to have maitenence come aboard and fix the damn thing... even though there were open seats that the guy could have just moved to... ANYWAYS... we missed the ONLY flight to anchorage. SO we now had to buy a hotel room (Even though it is discounted... it should be free... ) And they said that it was out of their control... It wasn't even cloudy or anything. It is so stupid.... all they did was give us an address that we could send complaints to. .... So we went and grabbed some food (another 30 dollars) and had to book an extra room (65 dollars) ... AND we won't get back home until 9:30 tomorrow night... To top it off... our luggage will probably be lost/stolen or a combonation of both. Anyways... I'm done typing about how much I dislike United Airlines for tonight... Hope everyone else is having more fun than I am at this point in time... Lata--

I'm actually taking a look at some new games coming out... and one for the PSP that I am now waiting for (now that I have just learned of its existence) Valhalla Knights 2! Supposedly one of the longest RPG's in a long time... and You can connect wirelessly and play coop from what I understand. Sounds good to me! I'll probably end up getting Tanya a PSP and we will try beating it (If it is real coop instead of like.... battling or something which would be LAME)




OH YEAH SOUL CALIBUR 4... RELEASE TICKER

Soulcalibur 4 at IGN


I still need to fix my media center... still working on that one! I NEED AN IR SENSOR!! why can't they be easier to find!!... I finally got one for my xbox 360! so ... only need one more.

I have been doing some research as to which one to get and I found a really REALLY amazing one. It's called the Gyration Media Center Remote! and it not only functions as the remote, you can use it as a mouse... The way it works, is it has a gyroscope on the inside of the remote that reads hand movements. So instead of having a mouse, keyboard, and a remote... you can get away with just the remote if you're already in the media center. OR the keyboard, and the remote if you have to use the internet or quickly access a program... Only downside... it's a bit pricy... On Ebay ittl run me around 70 dollars. Retail ... not sure...

Here's a pic

--->
Starting to go insane... around 3 more hours of work today... not sure whatelse I can say. I'm going to get back to giving some more people call backs as I haven't today yet... (Not like there are too many left) ANYWAYS! Until nexttime! Peace hombre's

So! I was chillin, grillin, spillin, and fillin while listening to MC Chris a ridiculous rap artist that i've liked and heard of from a popular Star Wars Boba Fette rap called Fette's Vette. It's a pretty amazing song... so I pulled up the lyrics and read them and found that there is a reference to Richard Pryor lighting himself on fire... Remembering that I pulled up his wiki and come to find out On June 9 (MY BIRTHDAY), 1980, Pryor set himself on fire while freebasing cocaine.... Hah so I dunno what that really has to do with anything... I just thought it was funny. Anyways. If you Haven't seen/heard the song and you want to. Here's a link.

Oh yeah! At Comic con they have an exclusive Zombie MC Chris Statue at Comic con which i'll probably pick up as well!!

MC CHRISSSSSSSSS FTW
-----------YEAH anyways...

Just chillin at work still... Patiently awaiting my interview for my Level 2 Tech spot... I honestly have no idea what is going on with that, but!! I got my Comptia Network + Cert yesterday! I am excited to start studying for my CCNA again... when I get back from San Diego I really -REALLY- want to get it done. I think my CCNA Cert is the single most important cert, and would be considered a huge achievement for me. I didn't take a 4 semester class for nothing. I have a pass4sure, and a really REALLY awesome TestKing Study guide that I've been reading through that gives really detailed explanations as to why the right answer is the right one. If you are looking to study for the CCNA send me a MSG and I can hook you up!

I have been working on my media center PC for the past few days of my life... It has been such a hassel. I installed my TV Tuner card... and with my Windows XP/Media center mod.... Didn't go so well. I couldn't even get the drivers to work, NOR could I get my xbox 360 to sync up with it! ... I don't even know what the heck is up with that.... SO I just burned a Vista Ultimate ISO and ran media Center on it (Even though it ate up 20 gb that I didn't want to use on the 80gb harddrive) Speaking of the harddrive.... For whatever reason the SATA slots on it don't work... so I have to use the old PATA IDE drives... In which the largest of those that I have is that 80 gb one.... Not much space to record shows... but whatever! I'll see how it works out I guess... SO After installing Vista Ultimate, The Media center is working great! It runs with my xbox flawlessly, My TV Tuner card installs and gets a TV Signal... and then I get to a screen: CAN NOT DETECT IR REMOTE... .... ... And for whatever reasons I CAN'T CONTINUE!... Why? I don't know... I could just use the mouse? right? ... WRONG! I need an IR Remote.... I ran out to Wal*Mart lastnight at 1am trying to find an IR remote for my PC and/or a media center remote for my Xbox 360 NEITHER of which are carried at Walmart.... SO I got some 99 cent Chicken nuggets from Mc Donalds... and went home... -IT- Was a tradgedy... ANYWAYS... I need to hit up Radio Shack and Fred Meyers today at lunch (In one hour) ... God... Can't wait...
