I did soooo much driving this past week. Well if you think about it I really only did the most of the driving on three days.
I left Long Beach, CA and headed off for Las Vegas, NV early Saturday morning. I left the apartment a little after 5am and got to Vegas with out much trouble. The only person there in Vegas is my mom. My brother, his family, my dad, and youngest brother were over at my Grandmama's. Well, by brother and his family were spending Christmas Eve with his In-laws.
Well, on the day after Christmas I left Vegas and headed up to my Grandmama's (central California) only the main highway that goes through the mountains and into the Central Valley was closed because of "extreme winds." Well that's a huge bitch! The only other ways that I knew about added at least 200 miles to the trip. The good thing is that I had my lil GPS dealy with me. I left Vegas about 11am, I wanted to leave earlier it just didn't work out. I ended up having to trun around 3 times because of road closers. Two times because of the extreme winds and the last because of the Red and blue lights on top of the CHP car. That last one made me back track about 20 miles. This is 20 miles in mountain roads, that I was soon to find out had some black ice on them. That wasted about 40 minutes of driving.
Good news is that I did make it to my Grandmama's house. It took me 10 hours of driving. The Day before this (on Christmas day) my brother, and everyone else, made the drive from my Grandmama's to Las Vegas in 5 and a half hours.
Yesterday I left My Grandmama's to come back to Long Beach. I left her house a little after 10am. Now this time I planned on taking the long way as I am tired of always going over the grapevine. So I ended up taking Highway 58 west (I know most if not all of y'all don't know it). Highway 58 East would take me back to Vegas, it was the highway that was closed while driving back from Vegas. Well I made a map so you could just look at what I did. The route in red is the route that I took. As you can see, it's the long way. The whole trip was over 400 miles. If I would have taken the short route it is about 250 miles. The part there in light blue is what I was going to plan on taking, but it was dark and I was tired of driving so I just stuck to the main freeways.
And now some pictures, well all that I took, of my drive back. Most of them are views from Highway 58. The pictures from along the coast were taken while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway. Yes, by the time I made it back to my apartment I had drivin just about 1450 miles.

Me and my dumb family
So today is Christmas eve. It is still just my mom and me here. I guess the rest of the family is not going to be here until sometime late tomorrow afternoon. I know what my brother is up to, he is with his wife's family. I don't have any idea what my youngest brother and my dad are up to.
So I wonder why I don't have that Christmas feeling. Blah!

I'm in Vegas and chillin in my PJs
Yup. I am in Las Vegas on a Saturday night and I am just chillin at my brother's place in my PJs. Before coming here I had planned on going out to the same strip club. Having my tire slashed Thursday night didn't help anything. That cost $100 for the new tire.
I also ended buying me a Christmas gift to me from me. I ended up getting me a new paintball gun. I got a Tippmann A-5. That wasn't cheap. I wanted it, so I got it. It's a good gun and will last a long time. So I think it was money well spent.

Humm how about some good news
So this weekend was good.
Friday (I know friday isn't the weekend yet, deal with it :P ) started off with a little Christmas party after work. well we closed down shop early to go to my boss's house. They had a jumper! It was fun. There were some drinks there, some adult others not. I was drinking pepsi and water, well not at the same time people...
Had tacos for dinner there, it was good times.
Friday night I had some drinks back at my apartment. Talked about going down and doing some paintball. Fuck....spent way too much time with this blog just here.
beer
call of duty 4
xbox 360

Ok, I'm going to post it.

Fuck Family
Fuck them all. I don't even know how I can put into words what is going on. It isn't my immediate family so much as it is my Mom's sister and her family. I guess my sister-in-law's family too.
My Aunt's daughter is renter the house from us at below market value. Then had $100 taken off of the rent to keep an eye on the pets that we had there. From what I could remember we had 3 small dogs, 4 cats, and however many kittens.
There are now 3.
Two of the adult cats have been seen, they've been out more so I guess they know how to fend for them self, and one dog.
So yeah my dislike for family has a lot of reason behind it. I really can't wait 'til I am on my own.
p.s. Her rent goes up $200 on the first and will go up again until it reaches market value.

130 minutes
That is how much time I spent in the water today. Everyone needed 400 minutes by the end of today.
I was soooooo bored. I couldn't see anything. I didn't have anything to do. I was just walking around running into stuff. The first 80 minutes I was starting to get cold and real bored. I wasn't having much fun at all. For some reason water would come in the hat up to about my chin. So I'd get most of that water out and a few minutes later it would be back.
I am done with school for the year! YaY!

No Regrets
I would like to live my life with no regrets. In fact I think most people would agree with me on that. There are some key point in my life that I can remember just like the day they happened. Some of them are more then just days. They are more like a chapter in the Book of Josh.
They, of course, make me who I am today. When you look at it that way I guess there really isn't anything wrong with that. This brings to mind something that I tell people when they say something like, "I wish I didn't remember (when something bad in their life happened). " That's when I have to remind them that there is no point in having good memories if you got nothing to base them off of. If you didn't have the bad to go with the good it would make the good memories just like everything else (ie: knowing your address or what shoe goes on what foot). That would be no fun at all.

silly or not so silly
Ok. So I started this wanting to blog about a silly, well not so silly, girl. But no one wants to read about that? ;)
My guess is most of you. To bad! I ain't gonna. I'm just going to blog about .... nothingness. Maybe about how my alarm is going to go off at 4:40am or how I only got 2 more days of class this year. I love the sound of that. Then I could work full time for a week or two, but again what fun would that be? It's my break from school and I'm going to take it. I got no plans on working any harder than I have to while going to school. Now after school I know that's going to be a different story.
Over the weekend I also got me a new keyboard. Well I got two different ones. I started off with the Logitech wireless bluetooth combo. Only problem is that I couldn't get the right mouse button to work and my keyboard would just start working sometimes. So that wasn't going to fly well with me. I also really didn't like the software drivers that came with it. Sure it did tell me what the room temp was, big deal. So I took it back to best buy.
I went back and picked up the first one I was looking at. Sure it cost more. Hell, it cost a lot for a keyboard and mouse. The thing is I like it better so far. It is real nice having a wireless keyboard while I just have it sitting on my lap. If I used a desk, I'm sure it would be a different story. Now I am using the Microsoft keyboard 7000. Like i said, I like it.
I guess I should get going to bed soon. Going to fill up my water for class tomorrow after this.

Home is?
Where is home?
–nounSo, by that meaning I live at home. But I wouldn't say that it feels like home to me. It is just a place that I'm staying at.
1. a house, apartment, or other shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family, or household.
2. the place in which one's domestic affections are centered.
Is it the place that you spent most of your life growing up?
--We don't own that house any more.
Is it the house that your family lived in before you went into the military?
--I only lived in that house for a year before the military and a year and half after.
Is it that apartment I live at now?
--I guess the closest thing, but living with 7 other people is not my idea of home.
Is it where my mom lives?
--Nope, that would be by brother's (and his family's) house.
Where my dad lives?
--That's my grandmama's house, or where ever he stays. (I don't know what he would call home, my guess would be his mom's house)
So maybe I'll just be "home less" 'til I get my own place.
When I go "home" for Christmas, just where an I going to go?
-- I got no idea.
Home is where you make itI found it! Home is a key on my keyboard =)

Friends is great.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we had more. Sometimes. I did ask her out 5 or 6 years ago. back when I was young and dumb...though it seems I am still dumb at times. Things didn't work out. We are both different people now. Sometimes I just wonder what if...
We've become the best of friends over the years. She even called me up after her not so good date tonight. The last thing I want to do is mess up the friendship. She is a great person and I love what we have.

Bitter sweet.
For me when I get the chance to go back home it is always bitter sweet. There is never enough time to see everyone that I want to. Then some people end up working odd hours.
On the good side of things I went to my old place of work on Monday. Oh it was great seeing some of my old co-workers. No one knew I was going to be there 'til I just showed up. Great times. It's just too bad that I couldn't spend more time there.
I try not to think about the fact that I'll have fewer and fewer chances to see these guys. It's not like I'll never come back. It also isn't my first time moving away. Still isn't any fun.

I haven't talked to him in about 10 years
I was talking to my dad (no it isn't him!) today at lunch. He told me that someone that I know called my Grandmama's. She is the only one in my family with a listed number. Well my dad just happened to be there so he took the call.
So he tried to make me guess who called and I had no idea at all who it could be.
Well it ended up being my Scout Master from my days in the Boy Scouts! So I called him up and talked to him some after work. He said that out of all the troops he has had that I had the biggest impact on him. We spent a few minutes talking about some of the times I was FREEZING cold.
*story time*
On why of the camping trips we went on. We set up camp, duh. Then the next day just went on a little day hike. Well it started raining. It started hailing. It was cold. It was fucking freezing cold! All of my clothes was wet. it seemed like we would never get back.
well we did
*story over for now*
well I'm going to stop by his house for a few minutes next week or so.
I can't wait to talk about some of the times we've had. After 10 years he still remembered me, well I remembered him too. so yeah.

One shot....One kill
My dad was in the Air Force ROTC. He wanted to be a kc-135 refueler pilot. Well turns out he has asthma so it was going to be a desk job or get out. He got out. I was thinking about the Air Force for years and years it seems like. I went there a part of my life where I wanted to be a f-16 pilot. I remember thinking that I had the right body size for that. Kind of makes me wonder what my life would be like now if I would have really tried at all for that.
Then I went through some time where I thought I would be cool to be a sniper. Hell, I still do think it would be cool. To be able to take someone out half a mile away. wow. How different this blog would be if I went down that path.
For awhile I wanted to be an officer, then I didn't want to go through that much college.
So yeah. I was thinking about the military a LOT. And look how it all turned out. Even when I was getting out of the Air Force I was talking and checking out if I would be able to go into the Army as a Combat Engineer (21B).
Some of your duties as a Combat Engineer may include:Well that didn't work as planned. Kinda glad that one didn't work out. It is kinda scary going from military to....not military any more.
- Constructing trails, roads and field fortifications such as shelters, bunkers and gun emplacements
- Assembling floating or prefabricated bridges
- Operating various light or heavy engineer vehicles
- Placing and detonating explosives
- Loading, unloading and moving supplies and equipment using planes, helicopters, trucks and amphibious vehicles
- Operating or serving as a crewmember on a combat engineer vehicle, armored vehicle launch bridge or an armored combat earthmover
- Preparing and installing firing systems for demolition and explosives
- Locating mines by visual means or by using a mine detector
So today is Veterans Day. I don't feel much like a vet. I don't think I did anything worth while. Sure I get VA health care, VA loan, and even a flag over my coffin when that day comes. Though, I just don't feel it.

Moose or not to Moose
Last night I had moose burgers.

I failed.
I was in the water for over an hour and couldn't even get the two pipes together.
So I think I'll get a 50 (out of 100) on it.

A great idea
Only I was trying to sleep when it came to me. Now I am awake thinking about it some more. Trying to think of just how I am going to do it.
Here are some pictures that I did real fast. I mean REAL fast. They kind of show what I need to do. They are NOT to scale.
(the red is the wire rope that they hang from)
Here you will see the two 6" pipe elbows that are in the water. About 12 feet below. One of them weighs about 110 the other about 130. They are sealed on the bottom so you got all the water / sand / and everything else adding weight to them.
Here you will see what I need to do to them. I need to rig it all up my self and pull them together. I can use pulleys and and all that good stuff to help, but that is also more stuff that could get messed up. Also got to install the gasket and 8 bolts.
In order to get an A on this I need to have it done and everything tight within 30 minutes. Every minute past that is one point off. Loose nut is 5 points and so on and so on.
Out of the 4 that went yesterday only one of them put it together. He had a time of 58 minutes. The record time for this I believe is 12 minutes.
This is what I am going to be doing around lunch time I believe.
Wish me luck.
oh yeah. this test is harder than you think it is. Even if you are thinking it's hard.....it's harder.

Halloween
Pfffffffffffffffffff
I was going to go to a STATIC-X, and what not, concert. Seeing as I got a big ol' test coming up tomorrow. I was just going to drink water, while everyone else would be drinking something. Then I thought about how much sleep I was going to end up getting...a whole 3 hours. Four if I was lucky. It also cost almost $30 to get in the door and the cost of the drinks. So I just thought it would be better to stay home tonight.
It really isn't that bad. Most everyone else is gone. So that does make it nice. It would be nice if I had some friends to hang out with, but who am kidding. I don't hang out, never have.
I'll just stay here watching porn and eating kix and string cheese =)

Well it has taken six months
And now one of the roomies is going to start looking for a new place. Fair enough. Just sucks 'cause he's one of the ones that I don't mind. Now if some of the other "oh I don't have the money for ____" roomies would go, so be it.

It all started with
18 or 19 people in my class. Now five, almost six, months later we are down to 12. We lost most of them about three months ago or one thing or another. For the most part it is a good group of people, however, there are a few people I wouldn't mind at all if they didn't make it to the next class.
Oh well that is life.

Update on Chucky
It feels like it has been a long long time since the last time I sat down and did some typing. I don't know why I haven't, I just haven't. Well it also helps that a stupid fucking Charter employ can't his his simple work orders. We had the cable TV turned off. I make it real clear to the lady NOT to have the internet cut off too. She made it real clear that I was going to get $26 back on my next bill. Well, I come home on Wed. and low and behold...no cable tv OR internet! The soonest a tech could come out would be three days later. So I am taking this issue up with Charter Corporate offices.
Well some of the things I have done.
- Paid for dinner for my brother and his family.
- Cut metal with fire....under water
- got a 99% and 95% on two test
Guess I should say this too. while in line of a (weaksause) haunted maze. Well some girl said I was sexy. And well the conversation went a little something like this...
You're sexy!
Thanks
Cool shirt. Take it off.
(hummm what to do what to do....)
You mean like this?(and I undo one button.)
Then I get smart.
If you want the shirt off. Then you take it off.
well she did...

Well I didn't make it to class
I had planned on going to class in the afternoon. Only I don't think it is a good idea after everything I took last night trying to make the pain go away.
So I did go to the dentist this morning after one of the worst nights sleep ever. With the 4 Tylenol PMs that I took I was tired but the pain made it almost impossible to sleep. So with all the pills that I popped and the lack of sleep and the pain in my mouth. I didn't make it to school today.
I've spent most of the day laying down watching TV. I think I watched 5 episodes of Heroes. Soon to be two more.
My whole body seems to just hurt. Like if I got in a fight or something last night.
I am hungry. I just don't feel like eating. Lets see how work goes tomorrow. My guess is that it's going to suck.

20th Anniversary of Appetite For Destruction
With: ADLERS APPETITE / BANG TANGO / Mad Temple / The Haunting / Tyranis / The Remedy
They are all 80s cover bands.
Ok, last night was a fucking kick ass time. It was kinda of a last minute deal. Well one of my roomies was already going and I just got asked to go. Seeing that I didn't have any plans for last night, we all know what happened to those. I went.
Fuck! Drinks cost a lot of money though. Just about $10 (with tip) for my White Russian.
We didn't get back to our apartment until sometime after 2:30 am. I passed out as soon as I hit my bed. Then at 7:00 my alarm was going off. Because, I have my welding class on Saturdays. Yes, I did end up going. That was good. I also ended up going to my car and take a 30 min nap :) it was much needed after a night like that.
In fact I think I spent more time not welding than I did welding.
Mad Temple was cool.
I think ADLERS APPETITE was the Guns -N- Roses cover band. That is what the night ended with.
Oh and there was this hot chick there....yeah it was fun =)
In my next life I want to be in a band for the umm.....bonuses...
Yes, I will be back. I think on Dec. 29th (well sometime in Dec.) Cheap Trick will be there. Fuck $78 on ticket master. Humm....

Today was better
Well this morning sucked. I just didn't want to get out of bed.
There is just something about jumping into the cold harbor water at 7:30am that wakes you up better than a cup of coffee ever could.
I guess I am doing better today. Roomie cooked up some food. I washed all the salt water off of me. So, now what?
Knives are sharp.
It would be great to have some to waste my time with. Well...at least I have my blog.

Guess it's a good thing.
That I didn't blog about my plans for Friday night and going to Knotts Scary Farm. Because it's not going to happen.
Oh well. At least now I get so save a few bucks.
Did I want to go, yeah. I also know that she does need to get work done to her car. I know if she doesn't get it fixed, then it will only cost more to fix down the road. Hell, she could break down along the side of the highway. That would be bad. So I don't blame her.
It's been about 17 years since the last time I was at Knotts Berry farm. I only remember one ride there. I really wanted to go. Even had a co-worker who was going to be there.
That's life.
Maybe I'll just drink beer at my apartment and download porn :P
It's cheaper anyways.

I wonder
- What I would be doing if I was still in the Military.
- If I didn't start this school
- If I'm losing more friends than I'm making
- Why I post more here than talk to people
- How much someone really would know me if they read all 550+ posts
- Why do I blog so much
- Why am I making a damn list (oh yeah....just a brain dumb)
- If things that don't kill you, really do make you stronger.
- what puts me in this kind of mood.
- Why does it feel like I have no one to talk to, but at the same time don't want to talk to anyone. I guess if I was talking to people I wouldn't be typing this.
I would like to be able and take a step back and read my blog as someone else. Just to see what I sound like. What kind of person I come across as when you don't even know who / what I am.
Why does it seem like there isn't enough time in the day, but I sit here and do..well..not a whole lot when I get home. "Home is where you make it." Well, I'm not sure I would call THIS home. Long beach sucks. I pretty much moved from one getto to another. Maybe that's why I spend so much time on my computer. I can pretend I am some place else.
I've also started watching Heroes. Good show.
I guess this is enough.

Dyslexia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia
I think I have it. The way I misspell words, even after looking up how to spell them. As many times as I have fucked up on the math at work. I even caught myself doing it today. The number I needed to write was "738" and the number I put down on my paper was "783". I've been doing that alot. Even after checking my self with a calculator that prints it out on paper. Still I put numbers in the wrong place. Even with reading back of a phone number, like I did today, I have to watch what I say so that I don't repeat the number wrong.
Eh, I'm sure I'll blog more tonight...Just some food for thought.

Rock Climbing
So I want to take up Rock Climbing. R.E.I. has a free clinic coming up that I want to check out.
I wanted to get into it years and years ago. It is just kind of hard for a 13 year old to pick up rock climbing with no one to help.
So now I'm 25 and wanting to give it a second try =)

I think I have a problem
Ok so yesterday I went out shopping. First stop was R.E.I. My goal there was to get a new knife. It is a good size store.
After looking around I found the knife that I wanted. It was a little under $40. I also got some knife sharpeners. Y'know...gotta keep a sharp edge on things.
So all n all I ended up spending about $70 there with out really thinking twice about it.
Then I wanted a sweater or hoodie or something like that. Well I was looking around for those too at this outdoors store. I found some, but I don't think I really found anything chealer than $50. I couldn't do it. $50 was just too much money for me to spend on that. Though I did go to the other stores there. I thought about buying something nice and trendy, I just couldn't do it.
So, after walking around and getting something to eat. I was going to make my way back to R.E.I. and take another look. They did have some nice sweaters in there. I ended up getting a cheap $20 thing from Mervyn's.
So over all it was a good weekend. Got a lot done. Made it to my welding class. Did my laundry. Paid some bills. Did some blogging.
Oh yeah. The mohawk....Well our female classmate was over. She ended up playing with my hair. Reason...I don't know. Well we got on the topic of hair glue. And there is the outcome! When I rolled out of bed the next morning, my hair was still like that.

I passed on the retest today!
Heck, the one diving hat that I thought I would have the most problem with I ended up getting it done is less than 4 minutes.
So that felt real good.
Then we had a Cajun Boil for lunch. They went and got $40 worth of shrimp! and corn and mmm food.
It was good times by all.
So I ended up getting a B in this class. Not bad at all. Though I think it'll take me off of the Dean's list.
It is hard to believe that I've been in class for 20 weeks now. And it is only going to get harder.

Stupid Roommates
So we just had a house "meeting".
One of my roommates is pissed because he's paying more for rent.
So here's the low down.
Him and his lady friend have the biggest room here.
So there total rent is more than ours. But it's about $70 cheaper per person though. Last time I checked, rent is split per person.
So now they are going to move into the smallest room.
So now we got two people living in one room paying the same rent as me. Humm doesn't seem very fair.

Well last night was crazy fun!
I think the pictures will show y'all a lot...
Base ball game:
Started out at the Dodger club house thing. Oh it as to have been the best buffet EVER! The salmon...ohh the salmon was fucking great! I've only had salmon when my grandma makes it. But this....oh sooo good. And the tri tip. mmmmm. I would have gone for seconds, but the game was starting so we went to our seats. Best fucking buffet ever!. I even did the mmmm sounds while eating.
Then we got to our seats some of the girls were taking pictures of this creepy looking old buy. Turns out it was Larry king! He couldn't have been more than 10 rows in front of us. Then there was this fly ball. It came down within 5 feet from us. That was crazy.
After the game we ended up driving around for awhile. Found a Rite Aid and got some ice cream.
Then we went to a club, only they didn't have dancing. Then we went some place else. Well we ended up at some club in Hollywood =). There was a line going out the door. Then some of the girls we up and said that there were 4 gals and 2 guys. They let us right in =)
The club was just wow. Never been in a club like that. I think the cover was $20 each. Well the bossman picked that, and everything else, up. oh it was sooo much fun.
On the way back home I was asked how I was still awake with all that I had to drink. I didn't really have an answer. But the boss man was passed out in the limo!
Oh I know I'm missing some things, and yes I do remember the night. It is just too much to put here.

Kinda crappy day at school.
So today I failed to out of three tests.
The taking off and putting back on, under water, of 3 diving helmets. 3 times in 10 min...each.
I only got the one of them done. The other two I was able to them BOTH two times, but for some reason couldn't get the fucking third time.
So I get to do them again on Tuesday. I even ended up getting a little cut on my forehead from one of the helmets. I just got to learn not to freak out.
Easier said than done.

Well anyways. I did spend a few minutes on craiglist.org lookin for some part time work. Found one that I liked, only I've never used any kind of CAD software. I've thought about sending my resume just for the hell of it.

Emotionally Unavailable
Well folks, there you have it. I am Emotionally Unavailable.
It isn't something new. It just who I am. I am also detached and selfish. But I've also been though a LOT of shit. I know there are people that have been through more. I've also been way depressed and I know there are people who have been more so.
I'm sure I've always been this way. Well at least the emotional part. It just seems easier to deal with life that way. The detached part came when I joined the Air Force. Nothing like spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with people you've only known for a few weeks and 3000 miles away from home. I got to North Carolina at the end of Nov. 2002.
So I don't know where I'm going with this. Just something that has been on my mind. I got no plans on changing. It is just the way it is.
it is what it is...

So I kinda might have maybe taken the name of this from Aunt Jackie. Just maybe ;)
But really I just wanted a reason to post my beard on my blog :P
Yeah so my bed is a mess, deal with it :P
I didn't really touch a razor for....a month or so. Maybe a month and a half. Well that all changed. When last night I did the unthinkable. (fuckit I deleted that stupid silly girl's contact, now I wont see when see comes online at least. Fuck her.) I shaved my beard. It took awhile and I had to use some yard tools to get the job done. But, I couldn't just go all clean shaven so I left some behind...
I tried to leave it as red neckish as I could. So yeah. Maybe I'll rock the really too long side burns for while. Who knows what I'll do next.

But sometimes people get past that. And that's good. Y'all might remember that silly girl from eHarm from awhile back. Well she is one of the few people that I know that judged me (right or wrong doesn't matter), but stuck it out to get to know me. And likewise for me to her.
It's just nice to see when some people take the time to read past the cover. I don't even want to think of the people that come here, take a fast look, and judge that they don't want to read. It is all the same thing. And Cinnamon Teddy Grahams are still good. =)

History.
It would seem that I am coming up on my two year mark of blogging. Now that is....well it's not THAT big of a deal. I can't help but wonder how things would have gone if I went left instead of right, so to speak. I guess I don't know. I don't want to make this a bog about silly girls. Though one of them keeps popping in my mind. (al my first real post here). I want to buy a wireless keyboard but they all come with a mouse. I already got the mouse.
What was I doing two years ago. Not much. But, I've changed a lot since then. In some ways I think I'm still the same though.

Immigration
I got some strong view on it. Might be because where I grew up, might be what I see on the news, but they are mine.
I think if you come to this country you you speak English. When I go to the DMV there shouldn't be forums in ANY language other than English. When my grandma came here from Germany do you think there were any forums in German? None at all. And I'm going to take a guess that she had a forum or two to fill out coming here.
I don't even like talking to tech support (not that I have to do that much) when they outsource it bangladad or some shit like that. That is just stupid on American law makers....For the people, Ha!
side note: what would happen if we changed from a two party (Rep & Dem) to just one party. Why do you have to be on side A or B?
Corporations, entire industries and other special interest groups spent a record $2.14 billion on lobbying members of Congress and 220 other federal agencies last year,http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/11/lobby.america/index.html
It would be nice if the Government wasn't paid for by big business. Oh well.
back to my main point: I don't consider my self to be an immigrant, seeing as I was born and raised in California. Even my parents were born in California. So I came from California. See where I'm going with this. My family history goes a lil like this:
Dad's - Mom -- From Germany
Dad's - Dad -- From Armenia
Mom's - Mom -- From ?? (Cali I think)
Mom's - Dad -- ??
So yeah I know a lot more from my Dad's side. Seeing as both my Granddaddy's passed away before 1982 (year of Chucky) and my Mom's mom passed away 7 years or so ago. So I don't know much of my Mom's side of the family history.
This all came up with something a co worker said they other day. He said, "Unless you're an Indian. Everyone is an immigrant." I just don't agree with it.

Stupid iPod crap
So I need to get some speakers for work. The boss man doesn't like me having headphones on. So I asked if having a radio would be ok. He did the umm...yeah...well....umm....Then I pointed out that it would be something just like what he has for his iPod in his office. So he said that would be ok.
SO I went to bestbuy on my way home today. Looking to buy some speakers for my NOT an iPod mp3 player. Only everything they have has the useless stupid iPod dock. Just what good is that going to do me? None. That and even the cheapest junk that had an "i" in the name cost at least $100. That's just crap!
Stupid useless iPod crap.
aww fuck. the dock thing that I'd like to have. Does everything I want....it only cost $200. That's crap too!
I'll just stay in my room and watch porn...at least that doesn't cost anything. Geez

I passed.
On the practical, the part that I was worried about, I ended up with a 91% on that. Needed an 80% to pass with no retakes. So that made my day. I was the first to go up on Tuesday. Everyone is out of the room, just me and the teach.
Today I had the hardest half a day ever. Had two finals. The first one taking 2 hours to complete. I ended up bombing part of that. I got a 75 on that, I forget what I got on the other half. Over all I ended up with a B in that class. The after noon class, the one with the practical, I ended up getting an A in. So I think my G.P.A. is someplace around 3.6 or so.
I got to get my brothers address so I can stick this letter in the mail. Just something I did up real fast at work.

If I had $140,000
I'd buy me a new car. Not just any car. Here.....let me find some pictures.
Some of you might be thinking that this is just a corvette. You couldn't be more wrong! Corvettes don't come with twin turbos. They don't come with over 600hp to the wheels all while running on pump gas. They don't even come this sexy! Only 25 of these sexy things will be built next year. I put this car up there with the 1969 Yenko Camaro
Almost 40 years later, these Camaros have been appraised and sold for well over $1.1 million USD at Barrett-Jackson auctions.I can't help to but to think about what a corvette like that would be worth 40 years from now. It's not a car you'd drive every day to work and school. So you might have 80,000 miles on it by then.
Maybe you are asking your self why not just buy a Porsche. The 911 turbos start out around $130,000 (I got mine up to over $150,000). Then I wouldn't have a one of 25 corvette. It would be a Prosche, just like every other one out on the road.
So yeah, that is what I would do with $140,000.

The Poolboy
Friendly and eager. You are The Pool Boy.
A teen at heart, you anxiously move about your daily tasks, hoping, praying for a good, instant lay. You're carefree, enthusiastic, and rarely discouraged. Love is cool, but it's not for you right now. You know what is? Crotches.
You're a fun person in both big and small groups, and your friends trust and love you. Inside you, meanwhile, your lust is only growing. Imagine your beating heart sprouting pubic hair. Exactly. Try shaving that.
If you're not scoring enough--which you aren't--you should adopt new strategies. Lower your standards. Be aggressive. Pool Boys are often submissive and hope (desperately) sex will find them. Realize that passiveness will not hook the horny girls you desire. A bolder approach and sheer repetition will.Always avoid: The Dirty Little Secret (DGSM), The Playstation (RGSM)
Consider: The Battleaxe (DBLM), The Nurse (RGSD)

Yogging
It's that thing where you run for a long time.
Yeah so I started up jogging again. Just something slow. I think know I did more walking than jogging today. It was good. I took my time, just looked around seen what I was passing by. I walked back a different way. I still did 4 or 5 miles. It was good to get back into it.

I don't know why. I just got some silly girl on my brain. I should just delete her from my ICQ list. But, I don't do that. I just smile and laugh when she comes online. Think about sending a message saying "hi hi", but I don't do it...

This past weekend
Was a really good weekend. Never mind the fact that I spent half a day driving. I went to Las Vegas to see my mommy. I didn't leave 'til 9pm and I got to their house about 2:15am. Then stayed up talking with my mom 'til some time around 3am. So it was a long day to say the least.
On Saturday we dropped off my mom's car then she wanted to go to a mall. seeing as she hasn't been to a mall and you'd think that Las Vegas has some nice malls. So, I hit up the google.com and...found a mall. Right off of the strip. It was nice. Has all the big names stores: Swarovski, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and soo much more. We spent a few hours there. She got a cute lil outfit for her granddaughter (who is 2 years old now....ohh I got a good pic of her) and I got this wicked awesome tee shirt! Most of y'all should know that I'm going to a dive school. So this shirt is a diving shirt. it says
Muff's Diving school. Harry Muff, Proprietor. Learn to go down with confidence.It's sooo cool. So yeah we spent a few hours there. Just hanging out with my mommy. We left around 7pm and headed out to the movie theater. There we watched War (Trailer). It wasn't bad...wasn't as great as 300 or anything.
Oh dang....I guess I should write my youngest brother a letter...just need to find what to say.

Yeah so I think I should go to some conventions or something while I'm stuck in south cal. So why not go to an adult convention? It should be neat to say the least. Sure would give me something to blog about, I'm sure y'all can't wait. Tickets are $35 for the weekend. So...who knows.

Tomorrow is test day
and I just don't think I'm going to pass. people say "ohhh you shouldn't be so hard on your self..." I'm not, I'm just calling it like I see it. I've had a lot going on this week. Seeing as this test is an 80% to pass and counts for half of the grade. If I do pass, or get a do over. I'll be happy. If not, it means I'm retaking the class. I'll be pissed off, but whatever.
I guess I'll find out.
oh and about the tooth. As long as I'm drugged up. all is good. I'm sure I need a root canal done.

oh how I'd love to have
I wish I had some right now. I'm sooo tired but I can't sleep. It is driving me crazy. I think it is getting worse as I type. This is that deep down in my tooth pain. Doesn't hurt when I bite on it, just when I try to sleep it would seem.
Stupid fucking tooth!

This fucking sucks
I've spent about a grand on different computer parts. What do I have to show for it? A stupid fucking broken computer. It is all apart all over my floor right now. The motherboard isn't even in the case. It has been broken all weekend too. It really just pisses me off because I don't know how to fix it. I've tried everything I could think of in as many different ways as I could.
Now is it 2:47am I need to be at work by 7:30am. Today is going to suck. I want a do over on my weekend. I didn't do a damn thing that I needed to. I've spent sooo many hours working on a broken ass computer. I was awake until 2am Sat. working on it. Then a few more hours on sat. after I rolled out of bed and Sunday afternoon.
It takes me 20 min just to boot up into what I got here. I can't do much more than look at some websites. Movies don't play. Games don't work. Flash and Java don't work. I got a bigger list of what doesn't work then what does work. Like the title says....This fucking sucks!

165 feet below sea level
That is how far down I went today in the chamber. It was different. Nothing like having to clear (pop) your ears with just about every breath you take.
So that's just a lil update. About 3 more weeks until I get to start diving.
Got two good sized tests to do before that.

My weekend
It has been a good weekend. Yesterday just gave me the good vibes.
Something I forgot to add in my last post is this lil piece of information.
Within 15 minutes of coming home I teabagged one of my passed out roomies =)
Just had to share that with y'all.
There will be pics, when ever I get it....

opposites attract?
So I went up to lake Arrowhead yesterday. It was nice. I met a friend up there. I had the worlds best ice cream cone....mmmm. Good! It was a waffle cone with two scoops of Dreyer's rocky road.
I ended up meeting that girl that Judged me right off the start. So we've gotten to know each other better now. It is just funny how we match "based on [eHarm's] rigorous 29 Dimensions scale. With this level of compatibility, we believe you two will have a lot to talk about and may even find true love together." Only we have NOTHING in common. He's how it went.
We'll play a game of I like // she likes.
x-games // Olympics
winter Olympics // Summer Olympics
blue // blue
dark blue // light blue
trucks // cars
Mel Brooks // Stephen Spielberg
and there was sooo much more that I can't remember right now.
It fine though. Not like I was planning on sweeping her off her feet. I knew were are very different people. Below is a map. The blue is what I took to get there. The Red....Well that's the way I came back :) I kind of just want my own way. Not the best way ;)
The best part about it...I got lost 2 times going up there. The first time I found myself, the second...well I was lost on a mountain. Good times though. I've gotten lost a bunch of times so it's ok.

Beer Pong
I never played it.
Last night we went out to eat at Bubba Gumps. While there some of the guys ended up playing beer pong at the very table we were eating at.
Good times.
