I'll leave for training today, but what scares me is I woke up with the intro to Full Metal Jacket playing vividly in my head o.o.

Ok, I just heard the umpteenth report that the movie was utterly amazing. I saw it and thought nothing of it and don't plan on seeing it ever again...

Seriously, what did I miss?

Last week at the mall =P

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:27:52 GMT

I expect this week to fly by... There is seriously going to be nothing to do and on top of that, nobody is expecting me to do anything. Can't wait though until this is over.

Been a nice 2 years at the mall and a nice 5 years of security work. I have seen everything that needs to be seen as far as security goes...I'm ready to move the fuck on and start this new chapter in my life.

O.O

Disappointment

Checking the Illinois DMV for a custom motorcycle plate, "POSSUM" is sadly taken. I guess it'll have to be "YIFFME" now :(

Crash space for one night?

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:11:11 GMT

cliff_husky and I are looking for possible crash space on wednesday night, just for one night. Any takers? We're staying at the Double Tree the rest of the con.

Speaking of storms...

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:02:51 GMT

First pic is from 2005, on my way back to school. I was on I-57 south near the I-74 interchange, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and the pics I have of it do not do it justice.

Second pic is from very slight aftermath of a storm that blew over our house in 2006, northern Illinois.

We had a very small tornado go over our house in 1999 too, unfortunately I slept right through it :(

Hmmm...

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

Going through one of my myspace blogs, I found this gem dating to early 05'. Cracked me up remembering the good ole' days :D

"Okay, haven't posted a blog in a while but this has been on my mind for a little while. The skate industry, right? I skateboard but I also know what's bullshit.

I recall reading something in some skate mag, coulda been Transworld, about how some people are all up in arms because blank decks, decks w/o any graphics on them, are becoming more popular. This doesn't seem like a problem but as i read more it goes on to state something along the lines of, "Blank decks aren't good because skaters aren't supporting the industry. You need to buy a graphic deck because it's a form of advertisement for that particular team or what not..." It's all bullshit, here's why.

I can get a blank deck for about $25-$30, with grip tape and all that maybe for around $35. A graphic deck could run me well over $50 easily, and that's not including grip tape that's put on right there at the skate shop. What's the problem with this? The problem is, why do I want to spend more money on something that's going to get trashed in a very short period of time? Oh, well, I'm supporting the skate industry. Well, sorry I'm a broke college kid that doesn't really give a crap about professional skateboarding, I skate cause it's fun, I enjoy doing it.

How am I not supporting the skate industry? I have no idea. I buy name-brand skate stuff, my trucks in Independant, I have Fillmore wheels, I skate Swiss bearing...not to mention I have 3 pairs of DVS sneakers and a pair of Circa, on top of all the T-shirts that I have bought in the past. Oh, I'm not supporting the skate industry. Don't even get me started on the people who wear all this stuff that don't even skate, they're in essence supporting the skate industry too.

It's all this Coroporate America advertising that pisses me off, now it's clear that mentality has infiltrated skaters. It's sad it comes down to advertising on the bottom of a skateboard or lack thereof that people are getting pissed. This isn't California either.

I'm sure back in the day it wasn't like this, but what do I know. I would maybe buy a graphic deck if I had the money, or it had some animal design, but all I know is when my skateboard gets shitty, I can either buy a blank deck and have money for a couple cases of beer or support the skate industry. Wait, I thought I was already doing that?"

I can haz M license?

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:39:51 GMT

Took the test at the DMV today, passed perfectly :D. Mind you on I was on a 250cc dual-sport :p. So, I got the new license and I'm ready to go wooo!

Mancow gets waterboarded, LULZ

Sat, 23 May 2009 04:14:21 GMT

I put up with endless commentary from the Roe Conn Show about this, so I had to check it out myself...

C'mon...it's not that bad.... I was waterboarded at FCN :D I used to do shit like that to myself when I was a kid in the bathtub, of course that was completely controlled too.

Honestly, it DOES suck.

This is now mine

Thu, 14 May 2009 17:58:44 GMT

Putts around the neighborhood real quick... And just got insured for $18/mo. I'm very excited :p. After countless times of stalling it, I got a hang of it but will put it away until I get my license, which through the insurence I have 30 days to do it. So hopefully soon I should be good to go.

Tommy rode it home for me and he said it performed very well, slight hesitations at first throttle but no biggie. Handles great, everything works and it's pretty damn loud with the custom pipe. No valve chatter or anything like that, so I'm good to go. (And no, we are not packrats, we have community garages so the boxes and crap shown do not belong to us!!!)

I can haz motorcycle?

Wed, 13 May 2009 06:03:47 GMT

So, I finally did it.

Me and Tommy looked at bikes on Saturday at a dealer by my parents house in Wauconda. We found some pretty cool machines but what caught my eye was a stunning 00' CBR600F4, orange and black. Bike was very clean, despite a bent foot brake lever and a small blemish on the muffler. Looks consistent with tipping over, no way in hell was this thing ever laid down, might have possibly brushed up against a curb.

So, to make a long story short because I'll post pics when I pick it up, the asking price was high for the milage 14,xxx. So, I give the guy a $1000 deposit, writes me up a sales receipt for the full price of the bike. Now, everybody knows you don't pay the asking price. So, I call him later saying I wasn't going to pay $5100 for that (tax, title, license, doc fee really ADDS THE FUCK UP BTW) and start to bargin with him. To my suprise, he doesn't budge, saying (and understandably so) somebody will pay that price by the end of the week, it is the beginning of riding season after all. So, what do I do? I walked away, and happy I did. Told him I'd be by the next day to pick the deposit up, no biggie.

He calls me a few hours later and starts saying he really hates turning down business and what not, lets make a deal. Ok, my interest is sparked again :D

I came in there today and we worked out a price for $5000 on the dot with a new front tire, and about $400 in riding hear, including a black $200 HJC helmet. So, you figure $4400 for the bike itself. I know I still overpaid but at this point, I found something I really like and I don't have to go through a major headache with a title transfer. Incidently, Tommy's putting up with a lot of bullshit with the DMV because the seller of his R6 fucked the title up in a way where he's going to have to get the bike completly retitled and wait a good 2-3 months for plates.
Fuck that.

Also a druken cliff_husky wants me to leave him a shout on this LJ post, so here ya' go pup ;)

I'm hungry now...

Wed, 06 May 2009 04:19:51 GMT
