Month: November 2005

  • - Monday, November 28, 2005

    I woke up at 7, but I decided to just go back to sleep and skip my Micro Economics 130 class because today the homework was due, and I didnt do it. no surprise there.

    Finally got myself out of bed at 10:30. And it was actually sunny out side, one of the few moments where there was actually more blue sky than clouds in the sky in the past few weeks.
    So that means… oh yeah… I’m ridin today.

    History class… he just soo likes to tease me with teh ooh soo effin awesome projector that he brings to class and wastes so much time that he doesnt get to show us the film.

    After school, I head to Cosmic… oh, and some idiot in a stupid grey honda tried to challenge me. So then I just kick it up to 3rd, and the idiot wannabe ricer was dust.

    So, I finally get there when its actually open. And its Michael aka DJ Wish of Hot Unique Image fame, who was there working on a gas tank. He said he just quit working at HUI today. I had to wait like 5mins for the guy who does the pricing to come back from where ever he went, K-Mart or something. Anyways, he said that he cant touch the bike since it’s hannibal’s work, and he doesnt know what kind of paint he uses. And if he sprays it with something that doesnt go with that paint that was originally used, then we would have a big problem. He said that if he were to do the touchups on it, then he’d charge about $200 for it.
    It was sugested that since the scratches on the side are not all that noticeable, that I just get some nail polish and color the two little areas on the edge of the farring that has the paint chiped away to the original red.

    Went to District Park for no reason, since nobody else I was supposed to be meeting showed up.

    Work. It was boreing, but It was the first weekday that I’ve worked in a while, so It was nice haveing such a cruize day at the cinema. <-haha.
    And the S-card was right there ontop of the time clock so I clocked my self in early and got to clock out late too.
    Then I saw “Wish”, again today at the mall.

    I had to get up at 8:15, after going to bed at like 3:30 or something like that last night, maybe even almost 4:00. I soo got to the cinema (haha, thats the uber cool way that the europeans say it, instead of saying theatre) pretty quick today, with out even trying. I left at 8:50 and I was sitting in the parkinglot at 9:03, and there was traffic too.

    So yeah, I start at 9:15, and theres pretty much nothing that I really do untill the theatres start letting out, and the first one is at 12:50. So for about 3 hours I’m just acting like I’m busy doing something.

    Gave away 3 posters today. All of them which were “signed” by “the actors” on the poster. haha. Prime, The Weather Man, and Shopgirl. See, nobody gives a poster back when they think it’s been signed by Nicholas Cage, Steve Martin or Uma Thurman.

    Now I gotta work tomorrow night.

    Hmm… Today just consisted of me doing nothing untill. I had to go to work. Wasted most of my time on the computer. Didn’t play any games on the 360, just sent out a bunch of requests.
    Work. Same old…. Couldn’t find anything to do on my break. At the end of the night we were gonna stunt some on the bike. Then these kids walking past saw us and one of them wanted the bike. So, we told him he could have it if he would do some jumps. He was scurrd of the ramp we made and just wanted to pop wheelies instead. But we finally got him to do a couple jumps. And then the stupid mall janator in his stupid big cleaning vehicle with the stupid flashy orange light on top came by and tried to be the wannabe captain america enforcer and break up all the fun.

  • - Wednesday, November 23, 2005

    Once again I got up for Econ class. The instructor makes that class enjoyable. But I’m not doing well at all in that class.

    Came home and played a little Joust before I had to leave again to skip English class and go to History class.

    Went to the theatre to pick up my paycheck that came in last week. Ahh, I wish I knew that, last week. Oh Well.

    Then I went to school, got a quick nap before History class. It was just more of the same today. He brought in the awesome projector, but once again, we didn’t get to watch the film.

    Had my interview at GameStop. Though, I wouldn’t really call it an interview. It was more like a, “come in on wednesday at 3, so we can hire you, and have you fill out the paperwork.” Yup, yup, yup. Didn’t even ask me one question about anything. I just got the forms to fill out right there. They didn’t have any room for me to this week, or the next, so they told me to come in on Tuesday, when they’ll have the new scheduals out. And it’s just for the Holidays thing, If they have enough hours to give after the holidays, and I want to continue working there, then they may ask me to stay.

    Played more xbox360, but still found a little time to get on the ogbox and play some UC.
    I was soo tired, I fell asleep at like 7:45pm, and woke up at 9:30pm.

    Watched the 15 minute / 900MB  “The Titanic Revisited” video on the 360 Hard Drive.

  • - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 – Xbox360

    I don’t remember what time I fell asleep but I woke up at 7, maybe 2-3 hours of sleep.
    Then I got right back to teh X-Three-Six-Oh

    Did the training level on Perfect Dark Zero. I don’t know about that
    game… I’ll say that Halo 2 sucks, but this game makes me realize how
    great Halo 2 is. Yeah, I’ll be haveing more fun playing Halo 2, than
    Perfect Dark Zero. But then again, that is my opinion only after the
    training level.

    Played a little bit of Halo 2, just to see what it’s like on the 360. The graphics are a lot more chrisp and sharper looking.

    Ripped a whole bunch of CDs onto the Hard Drive. and It’s soo easy to put music on there too now. The CD copies soo much faster on the 360, than it did on the original xbox. And it even reads the title, artist, track names, and ganere, off of the CD, so you don’t have to type it in yourself. Though, It messed up on the Bleeding Through Live CD. And It didn’t get any info at all from the soundtrack to Dave Mirra’s Pro BMX Maximum Remix, So I had to manually enter all the song titles and everything for that one, and Also for my uber awesome 70s/80s burned CD.
    I now have over 200 songs on my Xbox 360. Too bad I don’t have windows XP, cause then I could just stream the music from my computer to the xbox.

    I skiped my class today, since I was too busy playing xbox360, and the sylibus for the class said that today was gonna be the chaper 6 lecture. And a lecture would mean that I just sit through the whole class not paying attention and just reading webcomics the whole time.

    I spent most of the day playing Joust. That game is soo much fun. I like it more than Perfect Dark. I got the high score on the leaderboards for Ranked Versus, and CO-OP.

    SOTD: Penguins and Polar Bears – Millencolin
    STTA: “You F***ing Button Masher!!!” – Band of Gypsy – playing joust, where 75% of the game is repeatedly pushing the A button. haha.

  • - Monday, November 21, 2005

    So, I actually got up on time for my 8:05 class, this morning. It was worth it. The instructor noticed my poseur shoes with the tag still on them in the middle of his lecture. He stoped to bend down and flip the tag over to make sure that was what it was.

    I really wanted to ride my bike today, but It’s been kind of rainy, so I just took the car.

    Went to GameStop to see if they got the Play&Charge kit or the MarketPlace Points. But, they didn’t. Then I was asked to come in on Wednesday at about 3, for an interview.

    History Class, was ok, but I was falling alseep in it. There were 13 other people there this time. I was soo tired, I had 4 hours of sleep last night, I was falling asleep in class.

    Had a dentist appointment at 2:30, to fill 2 cavities. It took like half an hour. and I have to go back again, next week Wednesday.

    Came home, wasted time. Then decided to go watch a movie, just to pass the time till Midnight.

    But first I went to GameStop and picked up the Play&Charge Kit and the MarketPlace Points, since both were now in. I bought the MarketPlace Points with 83 Quarters, 1 Nickel and 3 Pennies.

    Then I did the impossible and actually got that freggin hard azz plastic open, from the Play&Charge kit. I cheated and had the use of a Sissors, but still yet, that plastic is soo insahnely hard to open. It’s basically impossible to open with out the use of something like a Sissors or a Knife.
    I just wanted to make sure that it’s a rechargeable battery pack and not just a cheepo pair of rechargeable AA batteries in there.

    I watched the 7:00 show of Walk The Line. And I gave free tickets to these two people who were watching the same thing. Cause, you know, giving out free tickets is soo “stickin it to teh man”.
    Anyways, I thought the movie sucked. I was soo thinking about walking out of it. The best part of the whole movie is when you see Shooter Jennings, and he’s only in there for like a minute. The movie just seemed to focus way too much on him being on drugs, just as much or even more than they did with Ray.
    I’d say, just skip this movie and don’t waste two hours and fifteen minutes of your life on it.

    After the movie was over I went to GameStop to wait. It was about 9:25, and there was one guy already there. Then the stupid security guard came up to us and told us that we have to leave, that we couldn’t be in the mall. He said we had to go wait outside at the service entrance by Macy’s and He’ll open the door at like 11:30, to let the line in. The guy was being an effin prick.

    But first we got to go into GameStop to get our systems rung up on the register and our recipts given to us. They numbered the Recipt and the System, so we could just line up acording to number and they could just give us the system without haveing to waste anytime ringing it up.

    So then me and the guy go outside, There’s these two idiots doing their wannabe fast and the furious in the parking lot. I hope I see them while I’m on my bike…
    It was raining a little bit, so we were sitting down on the benches outside the doors to Macy’s. There were other people getting off of work, waiting for their ride, over there too.
    Then the guy was kind freaking me out a bit, telling me how that book he’s reading is, “on killing”, and telling me a whole bunch of stuff about it.

    Then the security guard who hates me, came up to us and asked us if we were waiting for the xbox stuff, and said we could go in. See, that other security guard really was just being a freggin prick. So afterbeing stuck outside for half an hour, we get inside and have an hour and a half more of waiting.

    We eventually get through it all, and we get our systems. I was the first one to get it, because for some reason the store manager rung me up first, earlier, since she knows who I am and didn’t have ask for a name, like she had to for the other guy who said he was waiting for about 10 minutes before I showed up. Cause he watched a movie too, Zathura. He said he really liked Walk The Line, he’s from minnesota.

    So I get home, and hook everything up and it’s all G. I downloaded, some of the XBL Arcade Games: Joust, Gauntlet, and Bankshot Billards 2. Then I went on 4 of the 5 backward compatible games I had, to download all the content from that. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 wouldn’t work for me, it just keeps playing that video as if you were to put it in your computer. Anyways, It was soo boreing waiting for the content to download, I was falling asleep durring all of that. And yes, by the time I got to the last piece of content download I had for all the games, which was on RS3, I just fell asleep, after I started downloading it.

    Ahhh… So I’m finally caught up with these entries, after being behind for like the last 2 weeks.
    I had work at 9:15 this morning. So I woke up at 8:30 and had to pretty much just get ready and leave.

    Nothing much went on today.
    But I got a hold of more reject posters that nobody wanted. 3 copies of Prime and one of Weather Man. It took all day and a good amount of rejections before we got rid of them.

    More Stuntin on the bicycle outside, when we took the trash out.

    Oooh, and Andrew was sooo wrong about the Podium picture girl yesterday. That was her, I knew it, and he said it wasn’t, and now he’s all trying to change up his story.

    After I came home I just watched some T.V. then came on the computer.
    Watched the last half of Resident Evil: Apocalypse. I hope the first half doesnt suck as much as the second half does.
    Ahh, Degrassi always cracks me up with how cheesy it gets.
    South Of Nowhere is like it’s a wannabe O.C. or something, which also means that it Sucks. With a capitol S.
    And then of course there’s Da Ali G Show, wich is always great. But this last episode didn’t get me laughing as hard as I usually do when I watch that show.

    Yes. Finally, Tomorrow night, the Xbox 360 comes out. And I’ll be picking mines up at midnight. Already paid for.
    I also have a dentist apointment tomorrow.

    Pay Day can’t come soon enough. I gotsta get my Punk On A Rock ticket!!!

    So I finally got a day to just sleep in. Got up at like 11 something.

    I had nothing to do, so I figured I’d go for a ride, and while I’m at it I guess I could stop by Cosmic Custom Paint.
    Called up Shawn, to see if he wanted to go riding, but he couldn’t.
    So I eventually found my way to the Paint Shop, but they were closed, oh well… I’ll come back on monday maybe.

    I decided to take the H3 on the way back home, where I almost flippin Ate It big time.
    Comein down the H3, I hit 176mph, then I had to go hard on the breaks for the turn up ahead and also the freggin slow azz cars. Stupid Van, stupid slow drivers only going like 80, I can’t stand them. hahaha. Anyways, I almost ran into the back of a van, but I didn’t. The van saw me comeing and speed up, I also locked up the back tire, came real close to hitting the van. And all this on a corner too. I run off onto the shoulder a little bit, and then I start wobbeling. That was a little scarry, but I didn’t panic or anything. I just straitened it out. Took a second to get my self in check, and then speed off again. But I didn’t try to push it as hard as I just did. I think 176mph will remain the fastest that I have ever gone for quite some time.

    I already cut out messing around with poppin wheelies and bustin endos/stoppies. I guess I should also be cuttin out the excessive speeding. Cause, shnap, I could have ended up on the six o’clock news, if I had gone any faster. But, oh well, almost doesn’t count….

    Also, I’ve noticed the bike has been backfireing a lot more than usual, I guess it could possibly be related to when I droped. It also stalled out at a stop, as if it were in neutral, but I was actually in 1st. I had to switch it to neutral and back to 1st in order to get it moving again.

    Work. I picked up the 12 month xbox 360 live pack. Since my account expires on Thursday. Then I also picked up my reservation on the Perfect Dark Zero limited edition. The manager was there and said she’d try and get me an interview, and that she’d give me a call about it sometime soon.

    Oh yeah, and there were bicycles outside behind the dumpsters, with no
    locks on them at all. One of them even had the pegs for grinding. So I
    was riding that around a little bit.
    Later I set a little ramp, and did some stuntin, haha. That was pretty fun.

    I was trying to give away the movie poster of the Gospel movie. It was soo funny, nobody would take it. They’d take the poster with a smile on their face, walking away all happy, but when they actually took a look at it, they’d give it back. But I eventually gave it away when I saw Kayla come out of H.P., and I made her take it.
    Then I gave the Interpreter poster away to these two girls, cause they had uber awesome home made H.P. T-Shirts: “Valdar’s got… …back” haha. and of course the “…back” part was on the back of the shirt.

    The last theatre to clean gets out at like 10:45, and that was the one
    where we found soo much stuff. Ahh, we had  good time cleaning that
    one. There was soo much left over candy and food to eat. Even a burnt Dixie Chicks CD was in there.

    H.P. has lyke thee most awesomest end credit’s music. Teh “Believe that magic works” song is right up there with “Window Shoppah”

    I got up at 7:30, and it wasn’t untill after I brushed my teath that I realized that I didnt have my 8:05 class today. So I went back to sleep.

    Called up Cycledelic, he said I gotta bring the bike in for him to take a look at, for him to give me a price on how much It’ll cost for him to fix.

    I didn’t really wanna ride my bike today, because it was raining on and off, and I just washed Lizzie yesterday.

    Rode to school for History class. Hardly anybody was there, a total of 12 other people
    showed up for class today. And too bad for all the people that skipped. We finally got to watch teh uber cool ancient film, that’s soo old it had a purple tint to it. That just made my day. haha.

    After class I went down to Cycledelic. He took a look at it, and told me It’ll cost 375. He said that if it was just on one color that got scratched then he’d charge maybe 80 bucks for it, but since it’s multiple colors, thats why the price is soo High. He’s gonna have to airbrush the silver part, re-paint the gold strips, and all that stuff. He said I should take it to Cosmic Custom Paint, and have them take a look at it and give me a price, just so I’ll know that he’s not ripping me off, cause they should give me a price that’s about in the same ballpark as what he gave me. I’ll go to them to get a price, but I’m still gonna go back to him at Cycledelic to do the touchups. I just feel that way cause it’s like his art work and It just wouldn’t seem right if I had somebody else modify his work.

    from there I just came home and did nothing untill I had to go to work.

    Work was ok, but it was busy as ef. Showing H.P. In 3 of teh biggest auditoriums and pretty much almost all of them sold out almost every showing.

    They also changed up the cd for the movie tunes, and besides the H.P. music, this one is even better than the last. They now play Lizzie McGuire’s “Beat Of My Heart” a lot more.

    Oooh! Oooh! Ooh! I Saw CBR GUY TODAY!!!!! w00t! w00t! He was watching Walk The Line, he said it’s a good movie. I told him I got my safety check, but sadly he didnt say anything about going riding with him and his buddies on Sundays. well, at least on a side note, I got to shake his hand, so that was awesome.  haha.

  • OMFG! Somebody, Please, Just Kill Me! Please!!!!
    I droped Lizzie(my bike)!    
    Just some small scratches, a little chiped paint. Thank God for Frame Sliders.
    I’m gonna call Cycledelic tomorrow and ask him if he can fix it and how much it’ll be.
