8:32pm: Quater Life Crisis?
Deciding that I dont really use the 4 Door Maxima, That I commute 40 miles each way on Premium gas. I decided to look into something that was better on Gas Mileage, didnt require premium, and perhaps something I could enjoy driving every once in a while. This has led me to selling my Maxima, and purchasing a 95 Miata, with 76,000 miles on it. It has a hard top so I can actually not hate myself when I drive in that "rain" thing.

Well, not having updated in a while, I should probably say stuff... nah fuck that.

One thing interesting to note, for any of the old BBSers. If anyone ever called Voodoo Theater, I saw the Sysop over at Tower the other day. He brought up his board back on telnet. So if anyone wants to check it out...

telnet://voodootheatre.darktech.org

7:24pm: wtf?
I was just speaking to a covad tech that kep calling me Maam during the entire conversation.... I just kinda kept ignoring him, and the finally asked ...

Me: "Uhh .. dude, have you been calling me Maam the entire time?" Him: "umm .. yes ma'am" ...
Me: "uhh .. Im a guy" ..
Him: "Thank you for calling covad"

Wtf!!!

11:05am: Trying to ride the motorcycle .. take 2
Well, Sunday Morning, Seems to be about the only time I can take my bike out for a spin. So today I did so again for the second time. Getting better on my shifting. Still not comfortable around those big metal things that usually take the form of a car or SUV. I accidentally made it out to the main road which was the last place I wanted to be, but I only had to be on it for a minute, my dumbass should have gotten some gas while I was out there but I was too busy going "WTF?! Why the hell am I out here, I need to get the fuck out of here!"

Anyways, didnt crash, all good.

9:46pm: Just thought I would share....

8:58pm: This seems kinda pointless
I was looking through the craigslist motorcycle section and ran across http://www.craigslist.org/pen/mcy/17140522.html

what is the point of modding a goped. Maybe if you trick it out enough you can get another horsepower? Heck, everyone knows Vtec stickers alone are worth at least 5HP :P

10:10am: Another one I thought I would Share

10:05am: weeee!
Well, I got the bike! Henry helped ride the thing home (Thanks again) and Apparently had fun riding it. I wont be able to ride it for a little while because I still need to get saftey gear (I had to sell off some shit so I could cover food and gas for the next 2 weeks, reckless I know, but A deal like that is good enough I can live with it).

--edit, I hit post too soon --

http://www.iforgot.org/bike.jpg
That would be the bike.$2001 Ninja EX500R - Total price $2051

1:56am: wow... I still have this thing?
Hrmm ... Dont really know why I decided to post. For some reason people I know have been posting in their livejournals, and I ... well like I said. Im suprised I even still have the thing.

So, its about 2:00am, and I have my cell phone set to annoy me at 8:30. I might end up getting myself a motorcycle, 2001 Ninja EX500 for about $2k. I have been knocking on random pieces of wood in hopes that some guy wont buy the bike before I get there.

So random things since I last posted... Well, I live in Oakley now. Kinda out of the way. One of the guys at my work bought a house and I decided to help him out. I have a feeling that when the lease expires next year however, Im out. I dunno, There is just a feeling in the air I dont like. The fact he doesnt seem to like my cat doesnt help. (Oh yes, I have a cat now, Zoe. She is very evil, but I love her anyway). Having Furniture would be cool. My room is pimped out, but its about the only furnished room here.


anyways, I really should be going to sleep, but just thought I would post something.

7:17pm: ...........
So around 4:20 or PBI has a big outage for most of the Bay Area..... The first person to inform me of this between all of our psychotic business DSL customers and other managed customers in this area is ...

1:54pm: ...... yeah ......

I knew I worked with complete morons, but I did not think it went to this extent.

3:10pm: no realy content today .. move along
I just though I would pop in and say .... I love streamrippers



oh yeah ... and 173.4 today.... w00t!

3:41pm: damn .. today is dragging on forever ... this day needs to go the hell away ... or at least the managers do, then I can find someting to occupy the remainder of the day. Today is my Friday so after this it will be my weekend where I get to do ...... umm.. err... I dunno.

10:55am: mmmm ... China Village ....... must .... go!

2:35am: Speaking of sanity....
If I see another Blind Date "Too Hot for TV" Video commercial Im going to go batshit insane and start shooting TV's. Now I being part of the brainwashed "you must have a good body so you can get some play"-society have been working out more often, usually a bit before and a bit after work since my schedule is swing shift, there isnt really much else to do at 11am and 11pm. A good mp3 playlist helps me get through, however for visual stimulation I am still dependant on the TV's. During the day it is filled with News stuffs and Soap Opera's. During the Evenings it is filled with late shows and police chase videos that show THE SAME FUCKING CLIP OVER AND OVER FOR AN HOUR! One thing that is universal however is Blind Date ... do they play this shit 24 hours? is there a satellite blind date channel? Whether in the morning .. or in the night, I am stuck with this on the TV. Meaning I have to watch the same fucking "Too Hot for TV" ad about 50 times a week.

2:20am: Drama Drama Joy Joy
Imagine me with a 10 foot pole.

... Can you guess what I'm NOT going to be doing with it?

1:20am: Not much news, I just dyed my hair a blue/black combo ... and my cat decided that my back is a good comfortable place to rest herself ... currently kneeding (sp?) on my head.
