Stress

will — Sun, 11 Jun 2006 07:57:04 +0000

One more week, and I’m free, well from college for the summer. I can’t wait. This quarter I’ve learned that I hate Calculus, and that it’s possible to become even more of a slacker than I previously was. I’ve been busy the past few weeks and haven’t been posting very much useful information. I’ve got Firefox Guide updates, other updates, and some pure randomness. So yet again I blog about not blogging, and I’ve sunk to a new low.

A Weekend of Driving

will — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 08:16:07 +0000

Wow this weekend went fast. I don’t want to go to class tomorrow morning. But I think it will be a good week…I had two tests last week so hopefully this week will be test free.

Saturday I went up north to EOPerformance and did a little bit of work on my Silvia (race car). I basically have everything to put it together now…so next couple of weeks it will really take shape. Once I get it together I’ll post picks. Right now it doesn’t look that nice and it would be sad to post them. I also need to shout out to Ray and Ken at Enjuku Racing for all the help on this project. And thanks for the free shirt Ray!

Last night a friend of my sister came over so we hung out and had a nice chat. He’s been gone for that past four years in the Coast Guard is it was nice to talk.

Tonight I went down to Vancouver for a TSDNW meeting. It went really well. There is a car club in Oregon that is starting an Oregon chapter of TSDNW. So now we have two meeting spots on the weekends to kick it…plus another 13 cars for the rally. Hopefully we will have 20 cars. Aka next rally should rock. Hopefully some of the Extreme Evolution guys from Olympia, and DriftFirm guys can come too. It’s a blast if you love to drive.

So ya … fun weekend with lots of freeway miles but totally worth it. Bedtime.

Accounting

will — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 05:30:53 +0000

I’ve come to realize how much I hate accounting. I never really enjoyed it but now it’s to a point where I do hate it. I just thought I would share that thought with everyone. Back to homework.

Website Filtering

will — Wed, 08 Feb 2006 07:14:53 +0000

Okay, the community college that I go to hates me (Centralia College). They have filtered me on their free wifi.

Iron

will — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 19:18:56 +0000

Well I had to write about the element Iron in 1st person. I thought it was funny, so enjoy.

My name is Iron, I am very special because my atomic number is 26, and no one else can say that their atomic number is 26. I have been around sense before god. I’m so old that I forgot who, how or where I was found. That makes me sad. I weigh 55.845amu, and I think that’s damn good for my old age. Considering I still live on my own, I can drive, and don’t need a walker or a wheel chair. I am very special though because I am the most abundant element on earth. Now let me tell you that’s some bragging rights. Not to mention I have a cool house and cars. I am used in 95 percent of the world’s metals, some of my oxides are used to manufacture computer components, I am used to make carbon steel, and of course my favorite activity of all is cast iron. Well that is a little bit about me, I hope you enjoyed reading it, and remember to thank me next time you get into your car.

MySpace

will — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 09:05:55 +0000

I am going to start this off by saying I really don’t like MySpace. But I’m a geek, so I have it, and I’ll leave it at that. I know someone is going to ask me this, so here is my reasoning behind it. This is also similar to my reasoning for just not using Live Journal. I have my own server, I design websites, and finally I a geek as I stated above. So why not do it myself, I’m in full control, and I can do more. So that might help…anyway on to the real point of this post…

While browsing my new favorite site (The rest of my favorite sites will soon be up in my links section that I am working on. Might I also mention I feel like its the 90′s again because I have actually been surfing the net. What’s wrong with me?) digg.com I came across this article. It is about the people the own/run MySpace. Very very interesting if you ask me. Please post your comments on this I am curious what y’all think.

I’m tired, so I’m out like the 70′s…

Home Sweet Home

will — Fri, 22 Apr 2005 06:03:46 +0000

School sucks, but it’s nice to be home. San Diego was nice because I didn’t take any work with me or anything, I was able to relax. Coming back to go to school sucked a big one. I have a test tomorrow so I am off to study.

Spring Break Almost Here!

will — Wed, 16 Mar 2005 07:44:43 +0000

Tomorrow morning I have my last business law test. Today I went back to the library and told them they gave me the wrong test. As it turns out the person that usually is there was gone yesterday and that’s why I got the wrong test. I didn’t do that great on the test, for it was a beast!

I got my mirco-eco test back; turns out I got a 2.3 out of the class. It’s not that great but I suck at that class and being so damn busy I really could care less right now.

My Luck

will — Tue, 15 Mar 2005 06:57:38 +0000

This week till Wednesday is going to be interestingly busy. Today I went to take my test for my correspondence class. The idiot lady working the counter there gave me the wrong test! Honestly how hard is it to give me the right test? So tomorrow I have to go in there and ask for someone to give me the right test. It is one beast of a test though. I must study for it tomorrow. Work wasn’t to bad today, I didn’t get a whole lot done, but I guess that’s how it goes sometimes. I am setting up QuickBooks again, so therefore I have to put in three months worth of data, it takes forever to do but hopefully when its done it will pay off. Yesterday with Becky and Liz, I went to see The Pacifier, it was funny and a nice break for studying for my econ test I had today.

If you haven’t noticed I am just ranting and I am in a very random mood today, and I’m not exactly sure why. I could just continuing ranting about what’s gone on this last weekend and today but I am tired so I sleep.

will — Tue, 08 Mar 2005 05:33:44 +0000

Well..yeah not sure what to say. I still feel hung over if that is what
I was yesterday and today. Fedex came today with my new toys. I was so
exited, I got the two replacement boards for the other two I got that
were crap. Long live the NF7-S, now I’m wondering to myself why the hell
did I sell the one I used to have this summer?! Anyway that�..s beside
the point at least I have them now. I also got my new hard drive today,
a nice 250 GB Serial ATA drive. Tossed that in, so now my onboard
storage is up to 570 gigs!! Yeah! I have two other 160 GB drives. I am
going to replace them also with 250 GB drives, but first I need to get
them into their own box that will turn into a file server. Then the
problem comes up how I am going to access the files in real time. So
then I have to get a gig switch, probably fiber so I can transfer at the
speeds I want to. All comes down to time and money.

In other news the weather is great out, I am exited because that means
that Mt. Bike season is coming fast. Woot! I went to run my truck
through the car wash and they did a crappy job, so I went back and got a
free coupon and they ran it again for free. The second time they did a
much better job. Enough rambling on.

Sugar Hangover

will — Mon, 07 Mar 2005 18:46:05 +0000

Yesterday for some random reason I was feeling like crap. I think I
figured out why, I ate a ton of candy the night before and most of the
day yesterday for no reason at all. And I really didn’t eat anything. So
yeah I am a smart one. Anyone else ever experienced this?

Business Law Test

will — Mon, 07 Mar 2005 17:07:49 +0000

I’m all exited, last week I forgot we had a test. I mean just plain flat
ass forgot. I walked in, did the aww crap! So I get the test back today
and got a 90! I’m so freakin happy!

Sleep

will — Mon, 07 Mar 2005 04:35:32 +0000

Is something that I apparently need more than I think I do? I didn’t go
to bed too late last night, and the sad thing is today I took almost
three naps! It was so odd. That and for some reason I haven�..t felt
very good today. Therefore I didn’t get as much as I would have liked to
get done on my homework. Tomorrow just became a short day at work
because I am going to be home finishing that homework. It has now become
a must.

School Sucks

will — Fri, 04 Mar 2005 21:16:23 +0000

School is really getting annoying. Last quarter toward the end it wasn’t
bad at all. This time is a totally different story. I am finishing my
correspondence class. I also have my English 102 Final. It is a 8-12
page research paper. It’s rather interesting. I almost have a rough
draft. I have to meet with her on Monday, somehow I wasn’t there when we
made appointments to meet with her. So yeah I just realized this today,
please don’t ask me how because honestly I am not sure personally. The
other night I stayed up till 4:30 in the morning. Then last night about
8 pm I crashed and took a two hour nap. Then worked on the paper again
for a few hours. Tonight I am going to work on the paper and try to get
a rough draft done, and then attempt to revise it. Then tomorrow and I
can try to get it hammered down. When it’s all done I’ll post it so
anyone who wants to read it can. Thats all for now about school at
least.

Finals

will — Thu, 03 Mar 2005 00:36:51 +0000

My English 102 final is not due when we present, it’s due Monday the
7th. This is bad. Must go work.

Registration

will — Tue, 01 Mar 2005 19:36:21 +0000

So yeah yesterday I had to register. One of the classes I need to take
is full, and to make things better I can’t find a class at the time I
need a class. Correspondence class now came into play. Those suck and I
have to do another one, and also finish one from Fall quarter this week
too. But yeah I have a class at 8 and at 11. How nice a two hour break
to sit on my ass! Anyway must get back to work, more to come on what I
was looking at buying last nite.

In other news too I got a 86 on my Micro-eco test!
