So if I have learned anything, I’ve learned that Live Journal is all about talking about DDR. jameel and I went out to get my birthday present. Supplies to mod my pad to version 1.11 as he would call it… only my pads are different than his, so I think we must call this Mod…

I decided that I might as well finish my American Beauty kick from earlier, so I spent the last few hours working out. I started doing night workout regimens at the beginning of last summer when I decided that I didn’t like how I looked at 193lbs and 25% bodyfat and I needed to lose…

Sent out not one, but TWO… count them TWO resumes today. And I got calls from two companies… or a company and a headhunter who might have a position or two available for me. Life is so weird, the headhunter is an employee of the son of the nurse of my chiropractor. That’s just so…

Anu and Dana came by tonight and helped me come up with some other birthday present ideas. So here’s my list so far (in no particular order) Flat Panel monitor Dolby Digital 6.1 channel receiver Dual head GeForce graphics card Digital Camcorder CB radio Monster Truck Tires $600 Steering Wheel HDTV NHT 2.5i speakers (eternally…

Ok, this is definitely interesting. I’m watching TNN after wrestling and they have a sneak preview of Slam Ball. Its like basketball but played on trampolines and with hockey style full contact rules… I don’t think its the kind of thing that’s going to last, but I wouldn’t mind playing it myself. Slam Dunks are…

Damn Jennifer Beals still looks fine. Actually, I should correct that. She looks even better than she did back then. Granted, there are a lot of attractive older people in the world, and she’s only 39, but it just seems weird that someone known for being sexy 20 years ago looks even better now. If…

Ok…. so the Jammy Jam invites are out… and I have some prizes, but not enough for the jammy contest. Hmmm… I need to come up with more cool prizes that are also affordable given my new bum status… ideas? Going to Eat’N’Park with Max… maybe a brigade from some sumber party will wander in…

Put my custom windshield sunscreen on the truck. I bought it before the lay-off, so it will probably be the last mod for a while. It’s really subtle, but I definitely think it kind of adds something to the look of the truck. Mayeb I’ll take a picture someday. Saw Austin Powers in Goldmember. It’s…

I hereby break Rule #1. hurtsogood has been dabbling in the martial arts lately. Today was her first time sparring, and she was scared so she convinced me to come with her. I was a tad hesitant at first. I’m old. And I have done this sort of thing in like 4 or 5 years.…

Tried to file for unemployment. The website was broken, so I decided to call them. I call them and get half way through the application. The guy figures out that my last official day at work is July 31st (the day they stop paying me). So he advises me that I should wait because the…

Slept in… a lot… had weird dreams of motorcycles and weird motorcycle helmets (i had some shots last night) Woke up with a hangover (like I said I had some shots) Slowly worked my way through a new resume (did I mention I had some shots?) Received phone call from a very annoying, very pushy,…

sigh… No, I didn’t wreck the truck already, but effective immediately, I’ve been laid off. Its not that much of a surprise, there were some lay offs at the company a few months ago, and things haven’t gotten much better, but it still sucks. I really liked my job. So, I think I am going…

designs an automobile using both british and metric nuts and bolts. I took the truck’s dashboard apart so that I could remove the stock cassette deck and put my Blaupunkt in. I managed to get most of it done, and then nearly drive myself crazy trying to figure out how to remove the last two…

I’m sitting here reading a trucking magazine trying to justify to myself how I need to replace my steering wheel with with one of these: (warning, links open new windows) Impala Flames I had joked about this earlier, but seriously, if I try to pain a confederate flag on my roof or hood, someone please…

Once again its about 195 degrees in my house… sigh… cold is getting better… this is a good thing… I think I may stop the chiropractor appointments soon… my neck is still a little sore, but the appointments aren’t really making so much of a difference anymore. its more of a nuisance than anything else.…
