Went up snowboarding at Eldora today. Had an epic fail on the 3rd run. Caught the toe edge and faceplanted hard. Probable concussion, possibly a minor broken nose, and significant blood loss. Ouch. Alex scored it a 5.5, Eddie scored it an 8.
Leaving for New Jersey tonight for 4 days. I don't know if I'll be able to find an SG friendly computer out... Read More
OWW! And on only the 3rd run? Suck. Hope the nose and noggin (heh, old person word, but you know, it starts with "n" like nose . . . Ima geek) are feeling better.
Jeez, I never realized that engineering involved so much sitting around and doing nothing. I need 2 fittings welded before I can do anything else on my rig and we only have one person who can do the welding. (well, I could probably do the welding, but it wouldn't be as perfect or as shiny as his welds, and I wouldn't trust my welds to... Read More
You lucky SOB. This week has been a friggin' mental asylum @ my job!!!
I'm not going to get any real rest until after the end of the fiscal year (Jan. 31st)...so believe me when I say this:
Take full advantage of your downtime. Trust me...when shit does hit the fan @ your job, you'll think of days like today when you're kicking back. I wonder if they'll let you have some some Irish "Coffee" @ work
My roommate had better learn to control his dog or I am going to kick her out. She has now shredded 4 things of mine. First, one of my fleece coats. Then my good comforter for my bed and a pair of nice lounge pants. Now she's shredded my good fur snowboarding hat. It's not like she just shreds my stuff, she'll shred... Read More
Wow that sucks. Its so disrespectful sometimes having a roomie is more stress and can ruin friendships. Hopefully she get it together. Hope you are well dear!!
Remember, Jeremy Clarkson has driven a LOT of supercars. Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Saleen, Mercedes. And yet, he still thinks the Carrera GT is one of the best. And its not too expensive for a supercar. Maybe in 10 years of so I could afford this one.... Read More
- You'd be surprised what will happen in your car future. That Carrera is friggin hot...too bad the one you pointed out is sold...it's all good though I found you another one!
- I'm really surprised on the performance and looks of the Mazda RX-7...it's so close to the 924 is unbelievable, but in the end it's all about this:
...and we all know that means perfected German Engineering (pun intended!)
Have a good Sunday bro...maybe you'll be going out and having brunch or something today @ The Bump & Grind: YUMMY!!!
Because I'd be there for 8.5 hours for 13 credits. And I'm getting kind of burned out on choir right now. And then I'd only have to be there 7 hours for 12 credits.
What is happening to me? Why can't I do what I know is the best choice? I know that by all rights and reason, I should just chalk this up as a learning experience and move the fuck on, but I can't...
Why?
I don't know.
But I do know that I have to try. If I give up, I will be plagued for the... Read More
I've been feeling a similar way recently because I feel so far from my house down-payment goals that it sickens me not to mention the fact that I've given myself 'til the end of July to get all this shit together. Sometimes things you want will never come to pass no matter how hard you try, right? Well fuck that bro...
I'll tell you this much: Nothing is going to bring the rest of my week down: I won't let it. I have to stay uber-positve not only for myself, but a common friend of ours that's shitting a brick the size of Illinois right now! Maybe for a day we can put aside our hurt for a bit and send nothing but positive thoughts her way, huh?
That being said: Have a 2 below for me tomorrow if you have a chance. I've been hurting for a case of that myself since I got back...
Dude, if I had a dollar for every time that I wrote that blog myself... Yeah.
I tell you what, though. I've definitely learned that we make our own luck and opportunity. And it's not even an aggressiveness thing. I'm not that aggressive.
Check it out. When I went through Airborne School in 2002, there were 300 people in the class to start. about 100 failed out for various reasons, but 200 of us made it to Jump Week. Out of those 200, there were 8 people who froze in the door and had to be "helped" out of the airplane. Of those eight, seven of them were like "Wow, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be," and completed the remaining four jumps and earned their Parachutist's Badge.
The lesson learned from this? It's never as bad as what we think it will be. Time and time again, I've found that out, but sometimes I still need convincing.
I hear what you are saying brother... But the truly great things in life need to be seized. You definitely have it in you.
Since I seem to have a nice stable job, I've been looking into possibly buying a house. Nothing real nice, just my own place. My ideal would be a tiny place with a huge garage. 2 bedrooms would be fine. I'd like a basement, unfinished if possible, so I can make it a shop/smokeroom, and to keep the cost down. At least a 2 car... Read More

A, I don't know if I can make it tomorrow night because my brother and sis-in-law are making a modified version of Thanksgiving dinner in honor of my last night in Denver (chickens instead of turkey I think)...Maybe if we eat early enough I can get a ride to where this event is so @ least I can have a round w/ you guys before the end of the night, but let me know the time/place, alright bro?
When I first heard of Guitar Hero, I thought it sounded totally lame. I continued to think that without ever playing it. Yet today I stand corrected.
Today i watched someone who is a far FAR bigger nerd than me play some of the hardest tracks on Guitar Hero 3. That was almost a religious experience, though the fact that I was... Read More
I feel your pain. Seriously, jobs suck. Saturday I worked 5:30 am to about 5 pm, Sunday off, Monday 6:30 to around 4, Tuesday school all day, yesterday 6:30 am to 5:30 pm. More school today. More work tomorrow.
I don't know if I'll be able to find an SG friendly computer out... 
Kudos on the 3-d stuff btw.
tis lame and sad....
